Anyone knows what are the "blue chip" stock in KLCI?

Are these company below consider "blue chip"?

- BAT
- Digi
- Maybank
- Petronas Dagangan
- DKSH
- Axiata

???

All are blue chips except DKSH.

what does it mean by blue chip? established and high value projection company?

valuable stocks

Wiki

In Malaysia, KLCI consists of 30 blue chip counters. They are the largest by market capitalization. You google around and you can easily get the counter's list.

You can also find out the largest market cap from bursa online trading system. Go to "More Ranking" > "Top Counters (Mkt Cap)"

Maybank, CIMB, SIME.. These are the top 3 in my head without referring to the market cap.. I might be wrong haha

Does it mean highest price in the KLCI means blue chip counters?

Largest market capitalization and highest price are 2 different thing.

higher capitalize is the share price multiply by no. of share issue.some share although the price is high but the number of share issue is low.

how to see which are the top 30 stocks making up of the KLCi?..or the blue chip in this case..

Is the stocks listed in this website still relevant making up of the KLCI?..

in the upper side u got see view "all" "favorite "klci" "main" "ace".press klci then ok liau

oic..ok..thanx man...sorry for my slowpokeness..

Maxis consider blue chips?

Maxis, Digi and Axiata are all bluechip.

How to check? i dont have online trading account yet

Low price, high amount of shares issued -> YTL

Very expensive, but low amount of shares issued -> BAT

Both have different play style

The term of "blue chip" is not a "classification".
We do have A stock is blue chip or not, or B is blue chip.

Blue chip is just a name normally associated to large cap, and quality stocks.
There is no guideline or "yes or no" in this using term, just a normal/tradition market jargon.

now i fully understanding what is Blue Chip...

in other meaning is so called quality stock.. which got long term potential which can do better in their own field..

blue chip origin from wikipedia "As befits the high-risk nature of stock picking, "blue chip" derives from poker. The simplest sets of poker betting discs include white, red, and blue chips, with tradition dictating that the blues are highest in value" (Source)

Also got red chip stock and green chip stock
Can wikipedia for more details.

Where can i get information on the amount of cap for certain stock?

My defination for blue chips:-
1) stable profit
2) Biz are not risky
4) stable dividend
5) With cash reserve and small borrowing (if any)
6) Biz able to recover very fast after economy downturn.
7) Trustable management.

can we say the 30 klci stocks are blue chip ?

Are these blue chip stock?

NESTLE
BAT
DIGI
PANAMY
KLK
DLADY
PETDAG
PPB
F&N
BKAWAN
PETGAS
PBBANK
HLBANK
HLFG
SHELL
GAB
GENTING
AMWAY
SIME
MAYBANK
RHBCAP
AEON
UMW
CIMB
BURSA

my definition = counters that are quite resilient during recession. telco, power, consumer product are my favourites.

easiest way is to just take the top 30 that made up the FBMKLCI

Bursa 1818 is blue cheat!

Fully agree

If I choose, then
Top blue chip-leader, establish and good cash flow and dividend payout
Nestle,Bat,PBB, Maybank,Anway,UMW

Most blue chip counters are expensive, so it is only worth to buy during downturn periods.

the bold highlighted above.... big but lousy in my opinion

PPB is not lousy, but a steady company.

Just because its share price doesn't move much daily, doesn't mean it is lousy.
It has been consistently give good dividend years after years and decade after decade.

How can a stock that previously about 10 years ago was RM4-5, now Rm17, and on top good dividend annually, can be a lousy stock?

Yes!! very expensive... but i dont see downturn now...

hi cheeroy,
my concern is not the daily share price movement.
let's see the next 5 to 10 years where the share price is going. Too early too judge I would say. Anyway just my opinion...

In my opinion, blue chips companies are difference from growth companies.
1) Blue chip company
a) Growth is limited
b) Capital appreciation is not much unless u buy during downturn periods
c) Profit is steady and stable which mean that they are not affected very much by recession.
d) You main source of income is from dividend. They will distribute stable dividend around 3% -8% pa.
e) Capital depreciation in share price is not much during recession unless under special circumtances. e.g. an exceptional loss in disposal/investment in subsidaries/biz.
f) Established companies in the market

2) Growth companies
a) Room for expansion.
b) Have capital appreciation of share price due to growth prospect.
c) Profit is not steady, some years can perform very well, but may hit during recession periods.
d). Your main source of income come from both capital appreciation of share price as well as dividend.
e). Higher risk in investment but compensate with higher rewards

3-8 % only? I doubt. It much better than that

John Maynard Keynes said "In the long-term, we are all dead"

3 to 8 percent,I prefer buy bond fund.

Yes, eventually you will be dead, not in stocks, but in life
Unless we find the fountain of youth.. calling for Captain Jack Sparrow!

can get from bursa online trading system.

what is the different between blue chip stock and income stock? my believe as below:-

blue chip stock is high dividend and consistent increase share price stock.
income stock is high dividend and not much share price increase stock (e.g reit).

Is my believe correct? hope expert or sifu can give some share as example, so that reader can more easily understand.

I am not expert. But generally blue chips is a good stock that general investor expect it will perform well based the price over years. But just because it is viewed as blue chips, doesnt mean it is safe.for me always have your own blue chips selection after done your research is better than you listen from general ppl.

For income stock, probably youre right as long as it pays consistent div?
