Nvidia Corp. has one of the strongest growth stories in the market after posting blowout earnings on Wednesday. So why is it trading at a level that looks like a value stock?

The chip giant’s shares sank 5.5% Thursday, their worst day since April 16, dragging down the entire S&P 500 Index with them. It added to the selloff with a 2% drop on Friday. The two-day drop has erased about $360 billion off its market capitalization.
