The market capitalization, which is the number of stocks outstanding times the market stock price of the company is currently very close to 100 billion dollars. Yahoo also states BP's enterprise value is 121 billion dollars.

Both measures use the market stock price, so these valuations change with what investors think is a fair price to pay for BP's stock. Relatively low valuations exists for BP due to ongoing financial liability related to the spill. BP's market cap on April 19 was approximately 200 billion dollars.

The worth or value of a business is generally determined by the sale of similar businesses. It is very hard to provide a normal assessment of a huge multi-national corporation with an ongoing liability.
