QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017 Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund Investment Approach Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund is a diversified domestic equity strategy focused on capital appreciation. We employ a flexible, "go-anywhere" investment approach that seeks investment opportunities across different market capitalizations and investment styles. The fund does not have an overriding style bias to either growth stocks or value stocks. The prevailing market environment and opportunities determine the style and positioning of the fund. We emphasize fundamental, bottom-up research, technical analytics and frequent company contact when evaluating investment opportunities and tend to favor companies with solid earnings growth and reasonable valuations, while a minority portion of the fund may focus on shorter-term, opportunistic trading.

Performance Review For the fourth quarter, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 5.86%, trailing the 6.64% return of the benchmark S&P 500. Versus the benchmark, stock selection in the consumer discretionary, health care and information technology sectors weighed most on performance. At the stock level, an out-of-benchmark position in Netherlandsbased telecommunications conglomerate Altice (-46%) was the fund's largest detractor. The company had a difficult November, reporting disappointing third-quarter results amid a fiercely competitive telecoms market. The company said it had identified assets that could be sold to ease its debt burden, and that the sales could start as early as the first half of 2018. Overweighting Amgen also worked against us. Shares of the multinational biopharma returned -6% the past three months. Revenue for the third quarter was down slightly year over year amid a bevy of new and prospective generic-drug competitors, even as Amgen reported favorable results in late-stage trials for its Kyprolis blood-cancer drug, among others. Also, the company has been mulling taking advantage of a new, one-time corporate tax rate of 15.5% for cash repatriation, and investors wrestled with the pros and cons of Amgen's plan to bring stateside some of its huge cash hoard currently held abroad, an action that could result in as much as $6.5 billion in tax expenses. Avoiding Amazon.com also proved untimely. Despite a high valuation to start the quarter, shares of the online retailer gained about 22% in the final three months of 2017, soaring in late- October after the firm announced quarterly financial results that far exceeded analysts' 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 LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK Average Contribution (basis points)* General Electric Co. Industrials -0.78% 33 Adobe Systems, Inc. Technology 2.52% 25 Merck & Co., Inc. Health Care -0.71% 15 Marathon Oil Corp. Energy 0.71% 13 PayPal s, Inc. * 1 basis point = 0.01%. Technology 1.91% 12 were even stronger, topping expectations by $0.49. Amazon Web Services (AWS) remained a prominent growth driver, as sales for the company's cloud-computing division rose 42%. Amazon also offered a positive financial outlook for the final three months of 2017, generally considered its most important quarter. Conversely, stock selection in materials, industrials and financials aided the fund's relative result. Among individual decision, our avoidance of struggling index name General Electric provided the biggest boost to relative performance. Shares of the industrial conglomerate returned about -27%, as the company cut its dividend for the first time since 2009 and reported its largest quarterly earnings miss in roughly 17 years. The company attributed its struggles to lackluster performance in its oil-and-gas and electric power-related businesses. Going forward, GE said it plans an aggressive focus on controlling costs, while maintaining critical long-term investments. Another index name we avoided to good effect was drug company Merck, whose shares returned about -11% for the three months. During its quarterly earnings call in October, Merck announced that, due to regulatory issues, it had pulled its European application for Keytruda as a first-line immunotherapy treatment for lung cancer. Keytruda accounts for about 10% of Merck's revenue, and investors considered foregoing Europe a significant setback; the stock lost more than 10% of its value over the next couple of days. Lower-than-anticipated revenue, due largely to a production shortage, was another negative. Adobe Systems, one of the fund's largest holdings, provided a further performance boost, with its stock price up 17% this quarter. Shares of the publishing-software developer surged in mid-october following a third-quarter earnings call in which the company upped its estimates for fiscal 2018 revenue and earnings due to expected growth in its cloud business.

Outlook and Positioning At year-end 2017, we continue to position the fund based on the assumption of an expanding U.S. economy. In fact, given the already considerable momentum in the economy and potential further help from the recently enacted tax-cut legislation and other possible fiscal moves to stimulate growth, we think the chances are good that we'll see the economy accelerate in 2018. Accordingly, we've tried to increase the fund's cyclical exposure at the margin, adding to such sectors as information technology, financials, industrials, energy and materials. As of December 31, information technology is our largest sector overweighting. We've added to holdings in both the software & services and technology hardware & equipment industries. Also within the tech sector, Adobe Systems and Apple are our two largest overweightings, with Apple the fund's largest overall yearend holding by a wide margin. Materials is the fund's second-largest sector overweighting at the end of 2017, with holdings representing several industries, including metals & mining, chemicals and construction materials. Our largest holding in this sector as of December 31 is FMC, a supplier of agricultural chemicals. Financials ended 2017 as our third-largest sector overweighting. However, the fund's industry-level weightings in this sector are quite different from the benchmark's. For example, we hold a sizable underweighting in banks. Although we've seen some tangible benefits for banks since the U.S. presidential election in the form of higher interest rates and easing restrictions on bank's ability to return capital to shareholders, we thought a lot of these positives were already reflected in share prices.

Our biggest sector underweighting at year end is consumer staples. We view this sector as expensive, given the generally mediocre growth prospects we've been finding there. Thus, we avoided index stocks such as Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola. During the quarter, we reduced the fund's exposure to health care, lowering our biotech and pharma weightings. In the process, health care moved from a modest overweighting at the end of September to the fund's second-largest underweighting by year end. That said, as of December 31 we continue to carry some larger positions in this area, such as Amgen, which we like for its growth potential in a slow-growth world. Elsewhere, we trimmed consumer discretionary to roughly a market weighting, notably reducing our holdings in media and retailing. However, within the sector's consumer services segment is casino operator Las Vegas Sands, the fund's largest non-index position as of December 31. We continue to like this company for its Las Vegas operations, its Macau properties and the growing likelihood of getting approval to open a casino in Japan. The fund's largest individual underweighting at quarter end is e- commerce titan Amazon.com, which we choose to avoid for valuation reasons.

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. 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. Before investing in any mutual fund, please carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses.
