In case you were worried, Nvidia hasn’t forgotten about gaming

As seen in its second-quarter earnings results, posted on Wednesday, Nvidia continues to build upon its gamer roots.

The chip designer’s gaming division (its golden goose long before generating images of celebrities eating spaghetti was even a thought) scored $4.29 billion in revenue in the second quarter, up 49% year over year — a record.

The figure came in significantly higher than the $3.74 billion analysts polled by FactSet expected. That nearly 15% surprise is far better than Nvidia’s core data center business, which missed estimates by less than a percent.

Ford dips as another large fire breaks out at the New York Novelis aluminum plant

Shares of US auto giant Ford are down more than 2% on Thursday morning following reports of another major fire at its primary aluminum supplier’s plant in Oswego County, New York.

Local media reported that a four-alarm fire broke out at the Novelis plant, which supplies 40% of the aluminum sheet for the US auto industry, on Thursday morning.

Last month, Ford said a September fire at the plant would hit its earnings by between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in the fourth quarter. The company said it would be able to mitigate about $1 billion of that next year.

As of 10:15 a.m. ET, local officials said the fire is under control and everyone had been safely evacuated. Novelis previously said it would be able to restart operations at the part of the plant most damaged by the September fire next month.
