Australian Blue Chip Stocks - BHP Shares
Australian blue chip stocks can be defined as stocks with an established record of stable earnings power over a long period.
Most investors also consider stocks as blue chips if they have a lengthy record of uninterrupted dividend payments to common stock holders coupled with a strong balance sheet.
An example of Australian blue chip shares is AMP Limited (AMP). AMP is a leading wealth management company with more than 3.4 million customers across Australia and New Zealand.
Other examples of blue chip Australian shares include the big banks, RIO and BHP shares, and Woolworths. With a long history, growing dividends, and strong management, these stocks are clearly included in the list of Australian blue chip stocks.
