Blue Chip stocks refer to shares of companies that are financially sound and have a high maturity, plus usually a reliable dividend payment regardless of the state of the economy.
IBM is often mentioned as prime example.
Generally, investing in Blue Chip stocks is considered less risky.

A blue chip stock is the stock of a well-established company having stable earnings and no extensive liabilities. The term derives from casinos, where blue chips stand for counters of the highest value. Most blue chip stocks pay regular dividends, even when business is faring worse than usual.
The phrase was coined by Oliver Gingold of Dow Jones sometime in 1923 or 1924. Company folklore recounts that the term apparently got its start when Gingold was standing by the stock ticker at the brokerage firm that later became Merrill Lynch. Noticing several trades at $200 or $250 a share or more, he said to Lucien Hooper of W.E. Hutton & Co. that he intended to return to the office to “write about these blue chip stocks.” Thus the phrase was born. It has been in use ever since, originally in reference to high-priced stocks, more commonly used today to refer to high-quality stocks.In contemporary media, Blue Chips and their daily performances are frequently mentioned alongside other economic averages like the Dow Jones Industrial Average!! |

A nationally recognized, well-established and financially sound company. Blue chips generally sell high-quality, widely accepted products and services. Blue chip companies are known to weather downturns and operate profitably in the face of adverse economic conditions, which helps to contribute to their long record of stable and reliable growth.
The name "blue chip" came about because in the game of poker the blue chips have the highest value.
Blue chip stock is seen as a less volatile investment than owning shares in companies without blue chip status because blue chips have an institutional status in the economy.

Blue Chip stocks refer to those stocks in the index which have a history of holding well on the investors faith & have a petty good return over a period of time.These stocks perform well over the market expectation when the market is bearish also.These stocks beat also tend to beat the economic slowdown or fears in money markets.
Historically this term was coined to refer to IBM(which is also called the Big Blue) as the Blue chip stock(as it was once the most traded share in the stocks & had withstood the economic slowdown in many phases in US).
So since then blue chip stocks refer to the fundamentally good & sound strong.In Indian markets "RIL is generally referred as a blue chip stock" |
