A blue chip company is a large, credit-worthy company known for the quality and wide acceptance of its products or services and its ability to make money and often pay dividends. Blue chip shares refer to stocks in these companies.

There's no *exact* definition. It's a stock market term. It implies
(a) a large company whose shares are worth a significant amount of the total value of all shares quoted on the stock market..... by 'significant' I mean let's say 0.5% or more;
(b) a company that's relatively staid and has been in business for decades, and typically only increases its profit by a few percent a year, if at all........in contrast to a 'growth' company;
(c) a company whose shares are less risky to invest in than most other shares.
These three categories heavily overlap. Most of the 100 companies in the widely-watched index of average share prices known as the "FTSE 100" meet all 3 criteria. As do about 50 more.
