STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

On June 19, 2003, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Low-Priced Stock authorized elimination of the fund's 3.00% front-end sales charge. Beginning June 23, 2003, after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, purchases of shares of the fund will not be subject to a sales charge.

The following information replaces the fourth paragraph in the "Portfolio Transactions" section on page 11.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network or an alternative trading system.

The following information has been removed from the "Portfolio Transactions" section on page 11.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

The following information replaces the similar information following the heading "Historical Fund Results" found in the "Performance" section on page 14.

The fund had a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% (eliminated effective June 23, 2003, after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) which is included in the average annual and cumulative returns.
