"The Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund outperformed the S&P 500 in Q2 2025, gaining 13.51% vs 10.94%, driven by a massive gain in GE Vernova and a timely underweight in Apple."
In Q2 2025, the Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund returned 13.51%, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 Index's return of 10.94%. Outperformance was largely driven by robust stock selection in the industrials and information technology sectors, notably through an overweight in GE Vernova and a timely underweight in Apple. Conversely, overweights in the underperforming energy sector (Enterprise Products Partners and Energy Transfer) and avoiding Netflix (which does not pay a dividend) detracted from performance. The fund remains cautious on the macroeconomy due to concerns over tariffs, housing, and refinancing calendars, leading to significant underweights in tech and consumer discretionary sectors while remaining heavily focused on high-quality industrials and energy holdings.
