Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund

Transcription

1 Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund Key Takeaways The fund's share classes returned about -3% for the 12 months ending April 30, 2016, underperforming the benchmark S&P MidCap 400 Index. Security and market selection hindered the fund's performance versus its benchmark. Positioning in energy and financials was detrimental, as were choices among industrials names. Stock picking in several areas including health care, consumer discretionary, materials and information technology contributed to results. An average cash position of about 7% also helped performance in a down market. At period end, Portfolio Manager John Roth remains selective and optimistic. He is evaluating select opportunities in areas such as energy, financials, consumer discretionary and biotech, using his bottom-up fundamental approach. MARKET RECAP The S&P 500 index gained 1.21% for the 12 months ending April 30, Largely range-bound until mid-august, U.S. stocks suffered a steep, latesummer decline on concern about an economic slowdown in China. The market recovered in October, lifted by the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to delay raising near-term interest rates until mid-december, as well as a rate cut in China and economic stimulus in Europe. But continued oil-price weakness and U.S.-dollar strength pushed the S&P 500 to its worst January since 2009, followed by a volatile but ultimately flattish February, then a sharp rebound in March driven by U.S. jobs gains and perceived softening in the Fed's rate-tightening posture. April brought minimal change. For the full period, growth-oriented and larger-cap stocks fared better overall than value and smaller-cap complements. Performance was split, as five of 10 S&P 500 sectors gained ground, with a wide gap separating leaders from laggards. Investor demand for more-stable and higher-yielding investments boosted traditionally defensive, dividend-rich groups such as utilities (+14%), telecommunication services (+10%) and consumer staples (+11%) the latter also buoyed by rising wages and low inflation. Meanwhile, energy (-14%) foundered amid commodity weakness that also hurt materials (-4%). Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee

2 Q&A An interview with Portfolio Manager John Roth Fund Facts Trading Symbol: John Roth Portfolio Manager FMCSX Start Date: March 29, 1994 Size (in millions): $7, Investment Approach Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund is a diversified domestic equity strategy focused on companies valued at $1 billion to $10 billion across the growth-to-value universe. Philosophically, we believe a company's stock price reflects the market's collective view of its future earnings power, but the collective view is often wrong. We believe bottom-up, fundamental analysis can identify those opportunities where our earnings forecasts deviate from consensus, and where the potential reward for being right is high. We look for growth stocks where we have a differentiated view on the magnitude or sustainability of the growth rate; cyclical stocks, based on differing expectations for the timing, duration or magnitude of the cycle; and intrinsicvalue stocks, where we have a contrary assessment of the underlying asset value. In constructing the portfolio, we size positions by assessing our conviction in the differentiated view on future earnings power versus its potential payoff. Q: John, how did the fund perform for the 12 months ending April 30, 2016 It was a challenging year for the fund's share classes, which lagged the benchmark in a slightly declining market. Sector positioning and, to a lesser extent, security selection weighed on relative performance. On a more positive note, the fund's share classes easily outpaced the peer group average. Q: Would you please discuss your investment philosophy and how you manage the portfolio Within my universe of stocks in the $1 billion to $10 billion market-cap range, I focus on situations where I have a more positive view versus consensus of a company's future fundamentals. I believe these types of stocks should outperform the fund's benchmark over time. As a result, the expected earnings growth of the fund's holdings tends to be higher than that of the index average. My goal is to create attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term. I try to do this by emphasizing a large number of modestly sized active positions, rarely taking a single holding above 2% of the fund's assets. I believe this helps mitigate company-specific risk and helps to avoid some common behavioral pitfalls that can undermine performance. The benchmark represents only about 20% of the fund's investment universe, so it should come as no surprise that many of the most influential investments in the fund are non-index holdings. Q: What factors influenced the fund's relative performance the most the past year Stock picking within financials and industrials was detrimental, as was an overweighting in the badly lagging energy sector. I'll talk more about the fund's energy investments immediately following this Q&A session. Among individual names, United Rentals was the fund's biggest relative detractor. I've been bullish on United for some time now, and the stock was the fund's secondlargest holding the past year. The firm has been consolidating and growing equipment rental, which is a 2 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

3 fragmented business. However, the slowdown in the energy sector hampered shares of the construction and equipment rental firm. The stock was hurt by concerns that the company's rental rates would continue to fall into In July, the company announced downward revisions to its fiscal 2015 earnings guidance, which pushed the stock down about 14% in a single day. The stock also was weighed down in January when United announced disappointing fourth-quarter financial results and worsethan-anticipated 2016 guidance. Despite its poor performance this period, we remained optimistic about United's longer-term prospects. Q: What else disappointed Several stocks of companies with exposure to capital markets performed poorly. Included was private-equity firm KKR, which returned -37% for the fund this period. Investors were concerned about the company's high debt and questioned its ability to reinvest and create value at this point in the economic cycle. While I slightly reduced our position in KKR the past year, the fund still held a stake at period end, as I continued to think the stock eventually could benefit from higher investor sentiment. The fund also held a stake in e-commerce and payment solutions provider First Data a KKR-owned business that underwent its initial public offering (IPO) in October I thought First Data had a compelling "self-help" story. The firm has used its cash flow since its IPO to restructure, and has lowered its interest rate and paid down debt. The stock plummeted in February, just ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings announcement. First Data reported that it missed earnings estimates and incurred a loss, due partly to expenses incurred around its IPO. The fund's position in First Data returned -30% for the year; however, we remained confident in the firm's growth prospects, so we added to the fund's stake on weakness. Q: Where did you find positive results Stock picking in several areas including health care, consumer discretionary, materials and information technology lifted relative performance. The fund also held an average cash position of about 7% this period, which was a plus in a slightly declining market. This was a result of pulling back in market segments where we'd lost conviction. We've been selectively redeploying these assets into what we believe are better longer-term opportunities. Among individual stocks, not owning solar and wind technology firm SunEdison was the biggest contributor, as the index component lost nearly all its value the past year and was in bankruptcy protection at period end. Investors eschewed the stock due to volatility in the broader energy sector that contributed to its balance sheet erosion, as well as a slowdown in emerging markets earlier in the period, where the firm had big plans to expand. Constellation Brands, a company I think has a solid business that continued to grow over the past year, was another name that helped fund performance. Constellation produces and distributes wine, beer and spirits under such brands as Corona, Clos du Bois and Svedka. The stock rose in April after the firm reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results. In addition, the firm raised its dividend, announced the $285 million purchase of several luxury brands from The Prisoner Wine Company, and revealed that it was evaluating the spin-off of part of its Canadian wine business. While Constellation remained an important holding at period end, I pared our stake to take some profit. Elsewhere, a position in Luxembourg-based Eurofins Scientific the fund's largest holding the past year was another positive. I liked the firm's growth-throughacquisition business strategy and its high-return business that has few competitors. The firm provides testing and support services to various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, environmental and consumer products, as well as to governments. The stock performed well this period, as it was boosted in October after the firm announced a new set of mid-term financial objectives, including an increase in expected revenue, which excited investors. Shares rallied again that same month when the firm embarked on a deal with Rubicon Genomics to distribute all of Rubicon's products, including prep kits to enable liquid biopsies in the U.S. and Canada. Q: John, what is your outlook at period end During the past year, we saw significant sell-offs in the materials and energy sectors as well as in biotech stocks. We also witnessed a winnowing of the top tier of market outperformers, as fewer stocks were able to shrug off economic headwinds from slackening demand in emerging markets and a fluctuating U.S. dollar. Despite these challenges, I remain selective and optimistic, and continue to believe in our bottom-up stock-picking strategy. Some areas within consumer discretionary appear interesting to me namely housing and automotive, as the U.S. consumer appears to be spending on durables. However, I think a few areas of that sector, such as the retail space, are less attractive. I'm also keeping an eye on biotech stocks, where an industry correction combined with concerns surrounding drug pricing could eventually create some opportunities. Solid loan growth and credit quality in the financials sector also may generate compelling prospects, especially as interest rates inch up. 3 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

4 LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK John Roth on the fund's energy holdings: "Energy was by far the fund's largest sector overweighting versus the benchmark at period end. It created a big performance drag the past year. Yet as of the end of April, I continue to think the fund is well-positioned to benefit from an eventual rebound in energy prices. "Energy markets remain in a period of selfcorrection. Capital rapidly is being withdrawn from the industry, energy firms are cutting spending and rig counts are falling. I think faster declines in production should help rebalance the market. "Oil prices have been rising since February. Over time, I think supply is likely to decline and prices should adjust even higher. In my experience, buying a cyclical commodity when supply is declining and sentiment is low can yield good relative performance. "Within the sector I have diversified the fund's energy exposure across a basket of energy services names and U.S.-based exploration & production (E&P) firms, as well as some MLPs (master limited partnerships). "Included were some of the fund's biggest individual detractors the past year, including liquefied natural gas shipping company Golar LNG, and E&P firms Cobalt International Energy, Antero Resources and Cabot Oil & Gas. "Although my thesis did not pan out this period, I continue to hold each of these stocks at period end and remain positive on the fund's energy stance." Holding SunEdison, Inc.
