These are typically large, well-established, and financially sound companies that have operated for many years and that have dependable earnings, often paying dividends to investors. A blue chip stock typically has a\u00a0market capitalization\u00a0in the billions, is generally the\u00a0market leader\u00a0or among the top three companies in its sector, and is more often than not a household name. For all of these reasons, blue chip stocks are among the most popular to buy among investors. Some examples of blue chip stocks are IBM Corp., Coca-Cola Co., and Boeing Co.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25525622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1.png 345w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features_of_Blue-chip_Stocks\"><\/span><strong>Features of Blue-chip Stocks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The features of Blue-chip stocks are enlisted below \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Assured returns:<\/strong>\u00a0Blue-chip stocks\u00a0generate returns quarterly in the form of dividends.

With this safety comes the assurance of earning steady but guaranteed returns.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Risk factor:\u00a0<\/strong>Since big companies with stable financial performance issue these stocks, the risks factor associated with blue-chip companies are comparatively less. Investors can further reduce the burden of risk associated with blue-chip shares by diversifying their investment portfolio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investment horizon:<\/strong>\u00a0The term of investment is usually over 7 years. Such extended term makes Blue-chip suitable for achieving long-term financial goals owing to its long investment horizon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growth prospect:<\/strong>\u00a0Blue-chip companies are those large companies that have reached their maximum growth potential.

Such stocks are ideal for those investors who want secure returns. It is a good source of investment for all such investors who do not want to let their investment be affected due to market volatility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-7\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_a_Blue_Chip_Stock\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\">Understanding a Blue Chip Stock<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-8\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">While\u00a0dividend\u00a0payments are not absolutely necessary for a stock to be considered a blue chip, most blue chips have long records of paying stable or rising dividends. The term is believed to have been derived from poker, where\u00a0blue chips\u00a0are the most expensive chips.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-10\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">A blue chip stock is generally a component of the most reputable market indexes or averages, such as the\u00a0Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s (S&amp;P) 500, and the Nasdaq-100 in the United States, the TSX-60 in Canada, or the\u00a0FTSE\u00a0Index in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-12\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">How big a company needs to be to qualify for blue chip status is open to debate. A generally accepted benchmark is a market capitalization of $5 billion, although market or sector leaders can be companies of all sizes. The T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund doesn&#8217;t have a specific guideline for what type of company qualifies outside of focusing on large-cap and mid-cap companies that are well-established in their industries, although the median market cap of the fund&#8217;s holdings has historically been in the range of close to $100 billion.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-14\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Safety_of_Blue_Chip_Stocks\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\">The Safety of Blue Chip Stocks<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-15\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">While a blue chip company may have survived several challenges and\u00a0market cycles, leading to it being perceived as a safe investment, this may not always be the case. The\u00a0bankruptcies\u00a0of General Motors and\u00a0Lehman Brothers, as well as a number of leading European banks during the\u00a0global recession\u00a0of 2008, are proof that even the best companies may struggle during periods of extreme stress.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-17\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blue_Chips_as_Part_of_a_Larger_Portfolio\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\">Blue Chips as Part of a Larger Portfolio<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-18\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">While blue chip stocks are appropriate for use as core holdings within a larger portfolio, they generally shouldn&#8217;t be the entire portfolio. A diversified portfolio usually contains some allocation to bonds and cash. Within a portfolio&#8217;s allocation to stocks, an investor should consider owning mid-caps and small-caps as well. Younger investors can generally tolerate the risk that comes from having a greater percentage of their portfolios in stocks, including blue chips, while older investors may choose to focus more on capital preservation through larger investments in bonds and cash.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-19\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block\"><strong><span style=\"color: #1d1f20;font-size: 1.953em\">What Makes a Company a Blue Chip?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-20\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-questionandanswer mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer\">\n<div class=\"mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer__answer\">\n<p>Blue chip stocks are the titans of their sectors\u2014industry-defining companies that are well-known, well-capitalized, long-term stable plays with solid financial prospects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-21\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block\"><strong><span style=\"color: #1d1f20;font-size: 1.953em\">What Companies Are Considered to Be Blue Chips?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-22\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-questionandanswer mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer\">\n<div class=\"mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer__answer\">\n<p>Many of the largest companies in the S&amp;P 500 or the Dow 30, such as IBM, JPMorgan Chase, or Walmart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-23\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block\"><strong style=\"color: #1d1f20;font-size: 1.953em\">Where Does the Term &#8220;Blue Chip&#8221; Come From?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-24\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-questionandanswer mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer\">\n<div class=\"mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer__answer\">\n<p>The term &#8220;blue chip stock&#8221; comes from the world of poker, where chips used in gambling have different colors to represent different dollar amounts.
