The word "blue chip" comes from the blue chip used in gambling tools. Blue chips usually have a high monetary value. The basic supporting conditions for stocks to become blue-chip stocks are:
(1) During the depression, the company can make plans and measures to ensure the company's development;
(2) In the prosperous period, the company can exert its greatest ability to create profits;
(3) During the period of inflation, the company's actual surplus can remain unchanged or increase.
Blue-chip stocks refer to large-scale and traditional industrial stocks and financial stocks with long-term and stable growth. This kind of listed company is characterized by excellent performance, stable income, large share capital, rich dividends, stable stock price trend and good market image.
In overseas stock markets, investors refer to the stocks of large companies that occupy an important leading position in their respective industries, with excellent performance, active trading and rich dividends as blue chips. The term "blue chip" comes from western casinos. In western casinos, there are two colors of chips, among which blue chips are the most valuable, followed by red chips and white chips are the worst. Investors apply these jargon to stocks. General Motors, Exxon Petroleum and DuPont Chemical Company are all "blue chips".
Blue-chip stocks are not static. With the change of the company's operating conditions and the rise and fall of its economic status, the ranking of blue chips will also change. According to the statistics of the famous American Forbes magazine, only 43 of the largest companies in 2007 19 100 are still among the blue chips, and as the "bluest" and most prosperous railway stocks in the industry, they have completely lost the qualification and strength to be selected as blue chips.
In Hong Kong stock market, the most famous blue chip is HSBC Holdings, one of the largest commercial banks in the world. Changjiang Industry with China background and CITIC Pacific with China background are also among the blue chips. Although the history of Chinese mainland's stock market is not long, it has developed very rapidly, and some blue-chip stocks have gradually appeared.
Classification of blue chip stocks:
There are many blue chips, which are divided into: first-line blue chips, second-line blue chips, excellent blue chips, large-scale blue chips and China blue chips; There are also blue chip funds.
First-line blue chips:
There is no clear distinction between the first and second lines. Some people think that the first-line blue-chip stocks are second-line in the eyes of others. Generally speaking, the recognized first-line blue chips refer to stocks with stable performance, large liquidity and large total share capital, that is, stocks with greater weight. Generally speaking, the price of such stocks is not too high, but the mass base is good. This kind of stock can play the role of "four or two", which will affect the whole body. These stocks mainly include: Changjiang Power, China Petrochemical, China Unicom, baoshan iron & steel, Angang New Rolling, WISCO, Guangdong Expressway and Minsheng Bank. Generally speaking, the total share capital and circulating share capital of secondary blue chips are smaller than those of primary blue chips, and their share prices are generally higher, which is favored by institutions. However, due to high prices, retail investors generally dare not touch them, such as CIMC, Shanghai Airport, yantai wanhua, Suning Appliance, Yantian Port and other stocks. 600050, 600028, 6000 19, 60 1398, 60 1988, 0000002 600036 0060 600497 600030, etc.
Second-tier blue chip:
Generally speaking, the second-tier blue chips in the A-share market are slightly inferior to the first-tier blue chips mentioned above in terms of market value, industry status and popularity, which is relative to several first-tier blue chips. For example, Shanghai Automobile, Wuliangye and ZTE. In fact, these companies are also well-known leading enterprises in the industry (if viewed from within the industry alone, they are the first-line blue chips in their respective industries).
I steel industry: revaluation of performance growth value
China steel stocks represented by Baosteel deserve reasonable market pricing. Due to the high discount rate or risk premium, the listed value of major steel products is obviously underestimated. As the upstream and downstream of an industrial chain, it is impossible to have a valuation "depression" forever, and the price-earnings ratio of steel stocks reaches 15 times, which is the international level.
Key steel stocks with P/E ratio less than 20 times: baoshan iron & steel, Angang and Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.
Second, the port industry: the main line of investment: low valuation+asset injection
Although the sector valuation has been put in place, there are obvious differences in the valuation of individual stocks in the sector. The valuations of Shanghai Port, Nanjing Port and Chongqing Port are more than twice as high as those of Yingkou Port, Shenchiwan Port and Yantian Port. With the industry valuation in place, security is an important factor that we should consider when giving the investment strategy in 2007. At the same time, in the market environment of 20% growth rate of the whole industry, we can have more port resources and occupy a more active market position in the future market competition, so companies that may acquire assets are also our concern.
Key port stocks below 20 times P/E ratio: Yantian Port, Shenchiwan Port and Yingkou Port.
Third, the coal industry: opportunities brought about by the expansion
As far as the choice of investment targets is concerned, it is suggested to give priority to investing in enterprises with core competitiveness and pay more attention to the "bottom-up" strategy. The logical main line is: the price remains high-the increase in production capacity can be fully released-the transportation is loose-and the enterprises with little cost impact are the most worthy of investment. It is predicted that asset value injection and overall listing will be important investment themes and opportunities for the whole coal industry in 2007-08.
Key coal stocks with P/E ratio less than 20 times: Orchid Technology, Xishan Coal and Electricity, kailuan shares, Yangguo Xinneng, Hengyuan Coal and Electricity, Jinniu Energy, Yanzhou Coal, Lu 'an Huaneng, Pingmei Tianan and Shenhuo.
Fourth, the highway industry: long-term steady growth pays attention to value revaluation.
In 2007 and for a long time to come, China's expressway industry will maintain a steady growth trend. The sustained and steady growth of the national economy, the network effect brought by the gradual improvement of road network construction, the drop in oil prices and the increase in traffic volume brought by overseas investment have all created a good external environment and opportunities for the stable development of the whole industry.
Key highway stocks with P/E ratio less than 20 times: Jiangxi-Guangdong Expressway, Anhui-Nantong Expressway, Zhongyuan Expressway and Hyundai Investment.

Blue chip market:
