Blue chip companies are large, well-established companies with a history of stable profits. In Russia, blue chips include major companies like Sberbank, Lukoil, and UES. While blue chips are generally considered safe investments, problems can include not all large companies being high-quality and the risk that any company could face difficulties. However, Russian blue chips are prospects for growth as the economy modernizes and major companies have often increased in value over several years.
