Blue chip stocks are the common stock of large, well-regarded US companies. Blue chips, which take their name from the most valuable poker chips and in the UK are known as alpha stocks, have a reputation for quality products and services and a long-established record of earning profits and paying dividends regardless of the economic climate. Mutual funds that invest in blue chip stocks are known as blue chip funds.
