"The Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund outpaced the S&P 500 in Q3 2025 with an 8.41% return, leveraging high-conviction positions in Industrials and Energy while avoiding non-dividend-paying tech giants."
During Q3 2025, the Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund returned 8.41%, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500's 8.12% gain. Stock selection in industrials, communication services, real estate, and materials drove outperformance, with significant gains from non-benchmark holdings and overweights such as Taiwan Semiconductor and Western Digital. Despite the market rally, the manager expresses caution regarding macroeconomic indicators like housing and labor, and maintains massive underweights in non-dividend-paying megacaps (including Apple, Amazon, and Tesla). The fund remains heavily positioned in its high-conviction ideas within the Industrials (Boeing, GE Vernova) and Energy sectors.
