Shares of a large, well-established, and financially sound company with a history of reliable performance.
The term comes from poker, where blue chips hold the highest value. Blue-chip companies like Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble typically have market capitalizations in the tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, long track records of dividend payments, and inclusion in major indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average. While not immune to downturns, blue chips are generally considered lower-risk investments with more stable earnings than smaller companies.
