Shareholder Fees Caption [Text]	Shareholder fees

Operating Expenses Caption [Text]	Annual Operating Expenses
Portfolio Turnover [Heading]	Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 50 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate	50.00%
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
Strategy [Heading]	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	Normally investing primarily in common stocks. Investing in securities of companies that Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as assets, sales, earnings, growth potential, or cash flow, or in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry (stocks of these companies are often called "value" stocks). Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments. Effective December 11, 2025, normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of value companies.  Value companies are companies the Adviser believes are undervalued in the marketplace. The Adviser considers traditional and other measures of value, such as whether the company is included in a third-party value benchmark or classified as a value company by a third-party vendor, whether the company's free cash flow yield is above the equity market median, whether the company's enterprise value (the total value of a company's outstanding equity and debt) relative to earnings is below the equity market median, or whether the company's price-to-book (P/B) ratio or projected price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is below the equity market median. An issuer may be determined to be a value company under any of these factors. Derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to the investments above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the fund's 80% policy, consistent with the fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives.
