QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund Investment Approach Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund implements an opportunistic approach, rooted in a strict valuation bias that focuses predominantly on small- and mid-cap companies trading at or below $35 per share or with an earnings yield at or above the median for the Russell 2000. Our investment process is based on the belief that many low-priced companies are mispriced and that there are opportunities in so-called 'non-glamour' stocks. We seek to buy higher-quality companies with stable growth prospects and that trade at a discount to our estimation of intrinsic (fair) value. We supplement these holdings with stakes in firms for which we believe near-term prospects appear challenged, but where we see a meaningful disparity between price and value. We look for opportunities both within and outside the fund's benchmark. In managing the fund, we invest with a long-term time horizon and global perspective, seeking to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns by emphasizing companies we believe offer a degree of downside protection, assessed through rigorous analysis of each firm's income statement and balance sheet.

Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies. 1 Life of Fund (LOF) if performance is less than 10 years. Fund inception date: 12/27/1989. 2 This expense ratio is from the most recent prospectus and generally is based on amounts incurred during the most recent fiscal year. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate; therefore, you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance stated. Performance shown is that of the fund's Retail Class shares (if multiclass). You may own another share class of the fund with a different expense structure and, thus, have different returns. To learn more or to obtain the most recent month-end or other share-class performance, visit fidelity.com/performance, institutional.fidelity.com, or 401k.com. Total returns are historical and include change in share value and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Cumulative total returns are reported as of the period indicated.

Performance Review For the quarter ending September 30, 2017, the fund's Retail Class shares rose 5.03%, slightly trailing the 5.67% return of the benchmark Russell 2000. September was a particularly difficult month for the fund. The Russell 2000 was up more than 6% on renewed optimism for fiscal stimulus, while the fund gained less than 3%. During the month, the market was led by certain factors, such a lower-quality and micro-cap stocks, which are generally not a focus of the fund and its investment approach. The fund's strategy is to invest in high-quality companies trading at a discount to intrinsic value. Meanwhile, our roughly 12% stake in cash also proved to be a headwind the past three months. Overall, stock selection contributed to the fund's relative result, adding 47 basis points (bps) of relative performance. Industry positioning detracted by 33 bps versus the benchmark. In terms of security selection, the fund's holdings in the retailing and food & staples retailing industries boosted relative performance. More specifically, non-index positions in U.K. apparel retailer Next (retail) and Japan-based drug store operator Cosmos Pharmaceutical (food & staples retailing) were among the fund's top relative contributors. Conversely, holdings in the software & services industry notably detracted, including a nonindex position in Oracle, as our holdings returned about -3%. Elsewhere, our position in tech hardware & equipment detracted. Here, we were hurt by non-index stakes in data-storage provider Seagate Technology and Taiwan-based original equipment manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry. Elsewhere, underweighting the real estate sector and the consumer services industry proved helpful, as each lagged the broader market. In particular, overweighting Watchers International (consumer services) was helpful, as the stock gained about 30% this quarter. In the real estate category, an out-of-index position in Tokyo-based Relo Group modestly aided fund performance. Our investment in the stock of the outsourcing housing provider gained roughly 18% this quarter. The fund maintained more than a third of its total holdings in foreign-based stocks, which contributed to the fund's overall performance. Positions in the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan and Canada all outperformed the all-domestic Russell index. Outlook and Positioning Philosophically, the portfolio management team continues to look for what it considers the best undervalued companies whose business models it can understand, are not likely to succumb to competition or obsolescence, and have honest and capable management. The fund's benchmark is limited to U.S.-based companies, but often we find more-attractive opportunities abroad. As a result, at period end the fund continued to maintain significant exposure to foreign-based stocks. The portfolio managers are being guided by what they consider valuable research work being done by our analysts in Japan, Canada, Australia, Ireland, London and other parts of Europe, and we have been able to leverage Fidelity's global research footprint to take advantage of these opportunities. Although the fund's cash position may have appeared high on an absolute basis, it remained roughly in line with its historical average because higher stock valuations have limited our "low priced" opportunity set. However, we are optimistic that the new investment policy change expanding the fund's universe, effective in November 2017, can lead to greater opportunity in undervalued small- and mid-cap stocks of high-quality companies with stable growth prospects that trade at a discount to our estimation of intrinsic (fair) value. At the end of September, the fund's positioning had not materially changed from the prior quarter. The largest sector weightings were consumer discretionary (23%), information technology (17%) and health care (12%). Among these, only the fund's positions in consumer discretionary represented a significantly higher allocation than the index, which held a roughly 12% stake. The fund also continued to be notably overweighted consumer staples. Conversely, the fund was underweighted financials, industrials, real estate, health care and utilities.

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.
