Blue Chip Stock
Shares of large, well-established, financially stable companies with a long history of reliable performance.
Blue-chip stocks are considered lower risk than smaller or newer companies. They are often included in major indexes and are favourites of long-term investors and pension funds. The term comes from the highest-value poker chips, which are blue.
They're the 'safe and steady' players of the stock market — the ones everyone trusts to still be around in 20 years.
Real world: Companies like Apple, Microsoft, Unilever, and Johnson & Johnson are classic blue-chip stocks. They usually pay dividends and are less volatile than smaller companies.
💡 Blue-chip stocks are the reliable foundation of most long-term investment portfolios.
