It was first used in the 1920s by poker players in reference to high-quality chips that were not easily counterfeited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some might think of blue chip companies as &#8220;old school,&#8221; they are around today because they are consistently profitable and reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#definition\"><span

investment?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"definition\">What are blue chip stocks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue chip stocks are the stocks of large, well-established companies with a history of steady growth and dividend payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue chip companies are considered to be safer investments than some other <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/types-of-stocks\/\">types of stocks<\/a> because their earnings tend to be strong and their share prices tend not to fluctuate as much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These stocks can sometimes seem overpriced because they&#8217;re so stable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when you look at Apple today, you might think that its stock is expensive compared with its competitors\u2014 but it&#8217;s also likely that Apple\u2019s shares will be worth more in 5 years than they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem counterintuitive that an investment can both feel safe and be overpriced at the same time\u2014but if you think about it in terms of how markets work as a whole, then this makes sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For any given product or service (including shares), there will always exist customers who value its utility highly enough that they&#8217;re willing to pay whatever price is necessary for access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"examples\">Examples of blue chip companies in Nigeria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the blue chip companies in Nigeria include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unilever Nigeria Plc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nigerian Breweries <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guinness Nigeria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cadbury Nigeria Plc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nestle Nigeria <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dangote Cement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"invest\">How to invest in blue chip companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue chip stocks can be purchased directly from the issuing company or traded on the open market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can invest in blue chip companies through options like online trading or opening a new brokerage account or retirement account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some asset managers also have <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds\">mutual funds<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/mutual-funds-and-index-funds\/\">index funds<\/a> that specifically target blue-chip stocks, making it easy to invest in a mix of curated blue-chip companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"investment-grade\">Blue chip stocks and investment grade bonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue chip stocks can be likened to investment grade bonds in that they have a relatively low credit risk, low default rate and are less volatile compared to other bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue chips are the biggest companies in their industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If something bad happens to one of these companies, it can cause problems across the entire industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about what happened with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lehman_Brothers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lehman Brothers<\/a> in the United States during the 2008 financial crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a huge blow to investors who had invested in Lehman stock because it caused markets worldwide to take a dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\"
