Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund

Transcription

1 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017 Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund Investment Approach Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund is a diversified domestic equity growth strategy with a large-cap bias. Our investment approach focuses on companies we believe have above-average earnings growth potential with sustainable business models, for which we believe the market has mispriced the rate and/or durability of growth. In particular, we look for events that might provide a business catalyst such as product cycles, a change in management and turnaround situations that could add to a stock's true value. We believe finding companies with a competitive advantage, pricing power and strong management teams will deliver superior earnings over the long term. We look to exploit inappropriate valuations in the market through bottom-up, fundamental analysis, working in concert with Fidelity's global research team.

In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, 'growth' stocks can react differently from 'value' stocks. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks.

2 Performance Review The fund's Retail Class shares advanced 7.13%, slightly behind the 7.86% gain of the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index for the quarter ending December 31, Technology stocks extended a sharp rally that began in the fourth quarter of 2016; however, idiosyncratic, or stock-specific, events negatively affected our picks in software & services, and they hurt us most versus the index this period. We think it's worth noting that the industry also was easily our largest area of investment this quarter, making up about 25% of fund assets, on average. From an individual stock perspective, our focus remained on companies that we think can sustain above-average earnings over the long term. We aim to achieve this by looking for firms with some combination of competitive advantage, high barriers to entry, pricing power and strong management. We also seek firms that demonstrate above-average growth versus peers and those with good return on equity and improving return on capital. One such name was Uber Technologies, which, unfortunately, proved the fund's biggest individual detractor this quarter. Uber, a privately held global operator of a popular app for ride sharing, transportation and food delivery, saw its fair market value return about -28% for the quarter. In November, a consortium led by Japan's SoftBank Group a tech and telecom conglomerate offered to purchase Uber shares from existing stockholders at a sizable discount to the company's last valuation. The fund did not participate in the tender offer, and we think the company is wellpositioned within the nascent ride-sharing industry, but Fidelity did mark down the company's valuation to reflect the lower market price. Underexposure to large index component Microsoft also hurt. We continued to add to our position here, as we liked the growth of Microsoft's cloud-computing segment, in which the firm rents software to customers on a subscription basis; however the fund remained underweighted in the stock this quarter. LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK Amazon.com, Inc. Average Contribution (basis points)* 2.27% 29 PAX Labs, Inc. Series C Staples 0.16% 22 Sage Therapeutics, Inc. Health Care 0.14% 16 Dollar Tree, Inc. 1.08% 16 Gilead Sciences, Inc. Health Care -0.57% 12 * 1 basis point = 0.01%. Shares of the software maker rose about 15%, driven by improving sales of cloud-based internet software, which continued to help Microsoft overcome sluggish sales tied to personal computers. In particular, revenue from Azure, which competes with Amazon Web Services, rose 90%, and contributed to a healthy 57% gross margin for Microsoft's cloud business. Elsewhere, a substantial overweighting in Tesla proved the fund's second-biggest individual detractor. Shares of the electric car manufacturer returned about -9% for the quarter. Tesla sparked widely if not wildly divergent opinions, with naysayers pointing to battery limitations and production delays, and bulls highlighting surveys touting industry-topping owner satisfaction, along with left-field surprises such as electric semi-autonomous semitrailers, unveiled on November 17. This quarter, selling pressure gained the upper hand amid non-performance across business and products SolarCity, Solar Roof, Powerwall and, especially, the Model 3 all faced substantial hurdles. That said, on November 23, Tesla met its 100-day deadline to power up Powerpack, its 100-megawatt lithium-ion battery built in Australia and believed to be the largest in the world. Turning to individual contributors, our large stake in Amazon.com helped most. Shares of the online retailer gained about 22% for the quarter, soaring in late-october after the firm announced quarterly financial results that far exceeded analyst expectations. Revenue increased 34% over the same period a year earlier, partly due to $1.3 billion in sales from Whole Foods Market, acquired in late August. Earnings were even stronger, topping expectations by $0.49. Amazon Web Services (AWS) remained a prominent growth driver, as sales for the company's cloudcomputing division rose 42%. Amazon also offered a positive financial outlook for the final three months of 2017, generally considered its most important quarter. Another helpful pick was our position in Sage Therapeutics, a clinical stage biotechnology company. In December, the firm announced very positive trial results for its depressive disorder treatment, sending shares soaring 70% in a day. LARGEST DETRACTORS VS. BENCHMARK Uber Technologies, Inc.

3 Outlook and Positioning We are cautiously optimistic that recent stock-market strength could extend into the start of Investors seem optimistic that the faster earnings growth could be buoyed by a lower regulatory burden on corporate America, as well as by the potentially positive impact of recently passed tax reform. Only time will tell how firms use their tax savings; however, we are hopeful that we could see an improvement in the economy given this backdrop. Although interest rates continue to rise, they are still low by historical standards. We are paying particular attention to the possible effect this may have on the U.S. housing market. Energy prices experienced an uptick in the third quarter, and employment growth has been robust. We are watching for early signs of rising inflation, as well as for the impact of higher wages as they filter through the U.S. economy. By history's standard, equity valuations remain high, but we are optimistic that after two years of stagnation, corporate earnings growth should help support stock prices. We did not make any notable shifts in the fund's overall positioning this quarter, although we did opportunistically add to or reduce some individual names. As of December 31, the fund's largest sector overweightings remained consumer discretionary and information technology. Within consumer discretionary, the fund is exposed to companies that we believe are benefiting from a global expansion of their product lines or where we foresee an upcoming product cycle.

Historically, IT spending has been positively correlated with growth in U.S. GDP (gross domestic product) and capital spending. We believe firms will look to tech including cloud computing as a means to improve productivity. As we mentioned, we materially added to the fund's stake in Microsoft, the second-largest cloud services firm behind Amazon. We believe the trend towards mobility will continue. We see online advertisers taking market share from legacy media and think the proliferation of online video could have a positive influence on communications-infrastructure providers. Another trend we follow is the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Within discretionary, Amazon is a large holding in the internetretail space. The fund also held positions in some athletic and luxury apparel/goods names that we think are executing their businesses well, such as yoga-inspired active-wear maker Lululemon Athletica and France-based Kering, where we like long-term growth prospects among its strong collection of brands, including Gucci and others. By contrast, the fund remained underweighted in industrials, real estate and health care. Within industrials, however, we did add to or establish positions in airlines such as JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines and United Continental s. Airlines stand to benefit from several positive factors going into 2018, including the recent tax overhaul and higher profits next year, according to the International Air Transport Association.

6 3-YEAR RISK/RETURN STATISTICS Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to its benchmark index. A beta greater (less) than 1 is more (less) volatile than the index. Information Ratio measures a fund's active return (fund's average monthly return minus the benchmark's average monthly return) in relation to the volatility of its active returns. R-Squared measures how a fund's performance correlates with a benchmark index's performance and shows what portion of it can be explained by the performance of the overall market/index. R- Squared ranges from 0, meaning no correlation, to 1, meaning perfect correlation. An R-Squared value of less than 0.5 indicates that annualized alpha and beta are not reliable performance statistics. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by dividing the fund's excess returns (the fund's average annual return for the period minus the 3-month "risk free" return rate) and dividing it by the standard deviation of the fund's returns. The higher the ratio, the better the fund's return per unit of risk. The three month "risk free" rate used is the 90-day Treasury Bill rate. Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of the dispersion of a fund's return over a specified time period. Fidelity calculates standard deviations by comparing a fund's monthly returns to its average monthly return over a 36-month period, and then annualizes the number. Investors may examine historical standard deviation in conjunction with historical returns to decide whether a fund's volatility would have been acceptable given the returns it would have produced. A higher standard deviation indicates a wider dispersion of past returns and thus greater historical volatility. Standard deviation does not indicate how the fund actually performed, but merely indicates the volatility of its returns over time. Tracking Error is the divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark, creating an unexpected profit or loss.
