What Are Blue-Chip Stocks?
Bluechip stocks belong to well-established and financially robust companies, which have stable cash flows and efficient operations. These include some of the biggest firms in terms of market capitalisation (m-cap). Bluechip firms are historically known to pay dividends to their shareholders. Bluechip companies also hold a reputation for surviving market challenges. Even though it may be a reality in several cases, investors should not take it as a guarantee.
Advantages of Investing in Blue-Chip Stocks
Since bluechip stocks belong to highly valued firms, these can benefit investors in the long run via consistent dividend payments and a stable growth in share price. Dividend payments can also protect investors’ portfolios against negative effects of inflation. These well-established firms are also the first ones to recover when the market/economy recovers from a downturn. While bluechip stocks may face losses during a stock market’s bearish phase, these are less volatile compared with smaller growth companies. These hold comparatively lesser risk than mid- and small-cap stocks. Bluechip stocks also enjoy good levels of liquidity.
Is a blue chip stock risky?
Since bluechip stocks are less volatile even during economic challenges, these are considered safe investments by investors. However, investors should carefully diversify their portfolios when investing in individual bluechip stocks on account of company risk. In addition, bluechip stocks might not be an ideal investment option for small investors due to their higher price per share, focus on dividend payments and higher downside risk compared to limited upside potential.
Is it good to invest in bluechip companies
Making investments in bluechip companies is considered good for long-term investors with lower risk tolerance. Their proven track record of holding value and paying dividends can facilitate faster corpus building. Investors can allocate a part of their funds to bluechip stocks in a diversified portfolio to cut downside risk. However, these may not be attractive for small investors as bluechip stocks come at a higher price.
