- They make money for the shareholders.
So, from the above, i would say;
- Safaricom Limited,
- East African Breweries Limited,
- Kenya Commercial Bank Group,
- Equity Bank,
- Bamburi Cement Company,
- Kenya Power Company (KPLC),
- Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KENGEN) You mean Jubilee Holdings does not fit there? For forget the definition kplc and kengen are not bluechips. They have blue chip characteristics but deep down we all know they are not bluechips The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Would you say they are not affected by economic downturns, shareprices stagnating/below for close to 10 years.... Also they have not been making money for there shareholders in more than 5 yrs The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

FROM INVESTOPEDIA
"A blue chip is a nationally recognized, well-established and financially sound company. Blue chips generally sell high-quality, widely accepted products and services. Blue chip companies are known to weather downturns and operate profitably in the face of adverse economic conditions, which helps to contribute to their long record of stable and reliable growth.
The name "blue chip" came about because in the game of poker the blue chips have the highest value.
Blue chip stocks are seen as a less volatile investment than owning shares in companies without blue chip status because blue chips have an institutional status in the economy. Investors may buy blue chip companies to provide steady growth in their portfolios"
From the foregoing, I don't think KQ can be classified as a bluechip.
