DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 279 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund on April 30, 1989. As
the chart shows, by April 30, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $38,529 - a 285.29% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over
the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $56,123 - a 461.23% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the six-month period
that ended April 30, 1999. Investor
confidence was further bolstered
by a near-perfect economic
environment of strong domestic
growth, low interest rates, benign
inflation and improving overseas
markets. The hype surrounding
equities was greatest in the
technology sector, most notably
Internet stocks. Pharmaceutical,
finance and telecommunications
shares also performed well. Late in
the period, economically sensitive
cyclical stocks outperformed other
sectors as investors worried about
the potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level in late
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000. As
market leadership broadened into
cyclicals and value-oriented sectors,
the surge in stock prices continued to
drive the Dow Jones Industrials,
Standard & Poor's 500 and
NASDAQ indexes, which returned
26.58%, 22.32% and 43.55%,
respectively, for the six-month
period. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak returns of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
declined during the period.

An interview with Harry Lange, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Capital
Appreciation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRY?
A. Quite well. For the six months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund
returned 33.84%. This compared favorably to both the Standard & Poor's
500 Index - which returned 22.32% during the same time - and the
capital appreciation funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc., which
returned 27.00%. For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 1999,
the fund returned 17.83%, while the S&P 500 and Lipper peer group
returned 21.82% and 14.55%, respectively.
Q. WHAT WERE THE MAJOR FACTORS BEHIND THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. For one, a broader range of stocks participated in the market's
climb during the period. Prior to this six-month span, a clique of 50
or so large-company stocks was responsible for much of the market's
advance and the phrases "narrow market" and "large-cap dominance" had
become a part of our everyday vocabulary. But this period was
different, as we began to see more participation from stocks of
smaller- and medium-sized names. Increased market breadth typically
plays to Fidelity's research strengths and also benefits a fund such
as Capital Appreciation, which invests in an assortment of small-,
mid- and large-cap stocks. The other factors I'd point to involved
timely trading of positions in both the technology and energy service
areas.
Q. CAN YOU ELABORATE?
A. Sure. The time-worn adage of "buy low and sell high" worked
effectively in both cases. I began adding to the fund's technology
positions at the beginning of the period, when many tech names were
still perceived as being troublesome investments due to the crisis in
Southeast Asia. In particular, I added to the fund's positions in
semiconductor equipment stocks such as KLA-Tencor and Teradyne just
prior to the period, as well as names such as America Online and
software company Oracle. I felt many of these types of companies had
better prospects than investor perceptions indicated. Towards the end
of 1998, technology stocks reversed course and were the market's - and
the fund's - strongest overall contributors. Going into 1999 the
fund's exposure to technology stocks was around 37%, and I decided to
whittle that down. I funneled some of this money into the energy
service sector, which had been beaten down by historically low oil
prices. While I wasn't sure when, I felt oil prices would spike up
again and I added to the fund's positions in exploration and drilling
companies such as Schlumberger, Halliburton and Noble Drilling.
Fortunately, oil prices rose soon thereafter and the fund again
benefited.
Q. WHAT OTHER INDIVIDUAL STOCKS PERFORMED WELL? WHICH PROVED
DISAPPOINTING?
A. The fund's broadcasting-related investments performed very well,
with names such as Viacom, Comcast and Time Warner leading the charge.
The basic business profiles for these companies remained strong, and
demand for faster Internet access and increased data communications
capacity helped. Technology services company Electronic Data Systems -
the fund's second-largest position at the end of the period - also
fared well. The company benefited from an increase in its outsourcing
business as well as internal restructuring led by new management. A
notable disappointment was Modis Professional Services. The company's
information technology business suffered due to concerns over Year
2000 issues, and its temporary staffing business fell on worries of an
economic slowdown. HMT Technology was another lackluster position, as
the company fell victim to a poor pricing environment for disk drive
components.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I've certainly been encouraged by the small- and medium-cap stock
revival. If company takeovers continue (SEE SIDEBAR ON PAGE 8) and
smaller stocks can sustain their momentum, more investors may become
attracted to small-cap stocks. In terms of the portfolio itself, I'm
happy with its current allocation. I've added to the fund's
Japanese-based positions and will monitor the economic situation
there. As for technology, I think spending within the sector may
subside as the year 2000 nears. In that case, service-oriented tech
stocks may merit some attention.

HARRY LANGE TALKS ABOUT THE
TURNAROUND IN SMALL-CAP
STOCK PERFORMANCE:
"For the first time in five years, the
Russell 2000 Index - a gauge of
smaller stocks - outperformed
the large-cap oriented S&P 500
during a six-month period. I think
the seeds of this turnaround can
be traced to both company
takeovers and the Internet.
"Platinum Technology, for instance,
which the fund owned during the
period, was trading at 9 7/8 per
share when it was acquired by
Computer Associates. Computer
Associates paid 29 3/4 per share for
Platinum, or roughly three times
the closing price. When
companies pay a premium like
that, other small technology
companies tend to benefit
vicariously.
"Small-cap companies also offer
more Internet-related
opportunities. A lot of the big
companies tend to do things the
old-fashioned way. Smaller
companies - particularly newer
ones - are quicker to adapt their
business models to the Internet to
take advantage. With the Internet
gaining in popularity, larger
companies may look upon this
capability favorably when looking
to acquire a smaller firm.
"Along with these factors, I'd also
point to a renewed sense of
investor optimism. We've begun to
see signs of gradual improvement
in overseas markets such as
Japan, which has been plagued by
downtrodden economic
conditions for what seems like
forever. When investors see
trouble spots such as Japan begin
to turn the corner, there's more of
a willingness to take risks with
smaller stocks."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available
(and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for foreign currency transactions, passive foreign
investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends and losses deferred
due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,161,369,000 and $1,334,322,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .44% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, is the general distributor of the fund. Prior to October 12,
1990, FDC received a deferred sales charge of up to 1%. Shares
purchased before October 12, 1990 are subject to a 1% deferred sales
charge upon redemption. For the period, FDC received deferred sales
charges of $166,000.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .21% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $153,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund
negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income.
The fund receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral
against the loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of
the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each
loan. This collateral must be maintained at not less than 100% of the
market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan.
The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close
of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is
delivered to the fund on the
5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED
next business day. At period end, the value of the securities loaned
amounted to $11,630,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$11,797,000.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $137,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $0 and $22,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

Growth Funds Average 23.07% 15.05% 163.23% 360.48%
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 1,115 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

S&P 500 21.82% 26.89% 18.82%
Growth Funds Average 15.05% 20.90% 16.05%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund on April 30, 1989. As the
chart shows, by April 30, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $53,074 - a 430.74% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $56,123 - a 461.23% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the six-month period
that ended April 30, 1999. Investor
confidence was further bolstered
by a near-perfect economic
environment of strong domestic
growth, low interest rates, benign
inflation and improving overseas
markets. The hype surrounding
equities was greatest in the
technology sector, most notably
Internet stocks. Pharmaceutical,
finance and telecommunications
shares also performed well. Late in
the period, economically sensitive
cyclical stocks outperformed other
sectors as investors worried about
the potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level in late
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000. As
market leadership broadened into
cyclicals and value-oriented sectors,
the surge in stock prices continued to
drive the Dow Jones Industrials,
Standard & Poor's 500 and
NASDAQ indexes, which returned
26.58%, 22.32% and 43.55%,
respectively, for the six-month
period. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak returns of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
declined during the period.

An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Disciplined Equity Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BRAD?
A. For the six months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned
21.07%. During the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 22.32% and the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
returned 23.07%. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund
returned 11.76%, while the S&P 500 returned 21.82% and the Lipper peer
group returned 15.05%.
Q. COULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Large-cap stocks continued their recent dominance over small caps
in the latest six-month period, albeit by a smaller margin than in the
preceding six months. Given the economic and political instability in
many parts of the world, investors have preferred the perceived safety
afforded by the stocks of large U.S.-based corporations.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND SLIGHTLY UNDERPERFORM THE S&P 500 AND THE PEER
GROUP DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. Early in the period, my quantitative models were predicting weak
small-cap returns. As a result, I added more large-capitalization
stocks to the portfolio. This shift helped performance because
smaller-cap stocks definitely lagged the broader market. In addition,
my models historically have been better at picking mid-cap stocks, but
over the past year, they have also done well in choosing larger-cap
names. However, the fund underperformed the S&P 500 and the Lipper
peer group because it didn't own some of the hot Internet-related
stocks and started the period off with smaller-cap stocks.
Q. WHY DIDN'T THE FUND OWN MORE INTERNET-RELATED STOCKS?
A. Many Internet companies are losing money and their stocks are
trading at more than 100 times sales. I believe that, over three
years, the Internet stocks will likely underperform the market - even
if they continue upward in the short term. Generally, owning stocks
that are losing money and trading at 100 times sales is a losing game
and I like to play the odds. I discuss the high valuations of these
Internet stocks in more detail at the end of this interview.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS PERFORMED WELL?
A. Charles Schwab, which was up 243% during the six-month period, was
by far the biggest winner. Online trading is exploding and Schwab is
getting caught up in the Internet hype. Another beneficiary of the
Internet boom was Sun Microsystems, which gained 105% during the
period. In addition, many retailers benefited from a very strong
consumer situation. Consumer confidence was high during the period, so
people were more willing to open their wallets. Best Buy was a good
example of a retailer that benefited from high consumer spending.
Other large-cap household names that continued to generate strong
results were General Electric and Microsoft.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The biggest disappointment was H.J. Heinz, whose shares fell 18%
during the six-month period. The company has done a restructuring of
its pet food line, which was not as successful as management would
have hoped. As a result, revenues lagged analysts' estimates in a
market where investors are paying top dollar for top-line growth.
Another detractor was Allstate. Industry malaise and pricing pressures
have created an environment of lackluster premium growth and, in turn,
slowing earnings growth for many insurers. Finally, pharmaceutical
stocks, such as Warner-Lambert and Schering-Plough, suffered due to
seasonal weakness and a few new product setbacks at the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration during the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Many of the fund's holdings - particularly the retailers -
benefited from strong consumer trends during the period. However, this
aggressive spending wave has actually taken our savings rate as a
nation into negative territory. Therefore, I don't think it can get
much better from here for the companies that benefited from high
consumer confidence over the past six months. Generally speaking, I
think that if interest rates remain stable, the market should generate
mediocre - but not great - returns. I'm also not terribly keen on the
outlook for small-cap stocks. I believe that small caps are a better
buy at the bottom of a bear market or a recession, and we weren't
experiencing either at the end of the period.

BRAD LEWIS ON THE HIGH
VALUATIONS OF INTERNET STOCKS:
"Certainly many Internet
companies have above-average
growth prospects compared to
typical established industrial
stocks, but their valuations have
become problematic and some
traders have embraced these stocks
as a means of easy riches. In
general, `winning' stocks have
lower-than-average
price-to-earnings ratios with
above-average earnings growth
and increasing levels of earnings
estimate support from Wall Street.
Stocks that are expected to
underperform the market on a
one- to three-year level are those
that are losing money, trading at
extremely high price-to-sales
ratios and have large insider stock
sales. Most Internet stocks belong
in this category.
"For example, Priceline.com, an
online travel agency that has been
public for two months, recently
traded at a market capitalization
of $23.5 billion, or 118 times its
annualized sales. At the same
time, AMR, UAL, and Delta, the
three biggest airlines in the U.S.,
have combined sales of $51 billion
- - absolutely dwarfing
Priceline.com's scale of business.
However, the combined market
cap of the big three airlines is
$25.2 billion, comparable to
Priceline.com. Although
Priceline.com may serve a
legitimate niche in the rapidly
growing online bookings field, this
valuation is simply in the
stratosphere.
"Internet stocks may well
continue their run for a few more
quarters. However, at some point,
I think the market will lose
patience with their decelerating
sales growth."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld
where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, futures transactions, foreign
currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
market discount, non-taxable dividends, and losses deferred due to
wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Taxable Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND - CONTINUED
Management, Inc., an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research
Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $389,891,000 and $656,676,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .43% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .20% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $68,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $195,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's transfer agent fees were reduced by $31,000
under this arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
<TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY STOCK SELECTOR 24.31% 8.00% 151.36% 451.60%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 22.32% 21.82% 228.90% 439.92%
Growth Funds Average 23.07% 15.05% 163.23% n/a
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on September 28, 1990. For example, if
you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past
year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the growth funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 1,115
mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 21.82% 26.89% 21.71%
Growth Funds Average 15.05% 20.90% n/a
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Stock Selector on September 28, 1990, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $55,160 - a 451.60% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $53,992 - a
439.92% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the six-month period
that ended April 30, 1999. Investor
confidence was further bolstered
by a near-perfect economic
environment of strong domestic
growth, low interest rates, benign
inflation and improving overseas
markets. The hype surrounding
equities was greatest in the
technology sector, most notably
Internet stocks. Pharmaceutical,
finance and telecommunications
shares also performed well. Late in
the period, economically sensitive
cyclical stocks outperformed other
sectors as investors worried about
the potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level in late
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000. As
market leadership broadened into
cyclicals and value-oriented sectors,
the surge in stock prices continued to
drive the Dow Jones Industrials,
Standard & Poor's 500 and
NASDAQ indexes, which returned
26.58%, 22.32% and 43.55%,
respectively, for the six-month
period. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak returns of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
declined during the period.

An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Stock Selector Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BRAD?
A. For the six months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned
24.31%. During the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 22.32% and the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
returned 23.07%. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund
returned 8.00%, compared to 21.82% for the S&P 500 and 15.05% for the
Lipper peer group.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE BENCHMARK AND ITS PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. An increased position in large-capitalization stocks helped the
fund. Beginning in November, I added more large-cap names to the
portfolio because my models were predicting weak small-cap returns.
This was somewhat of a significant move considering that the fund was
focused on mid-cap stocks. In addition, I've been a bit more
aggressive in making sector rotations. I reduced the fund's weighting
in utilities quite a bit at the beginning of the year, a period of
time when these stocks historically do not perform well. In February,
I increased the fund's energy holdings, which was fortunate in
hindsight given the rise in oil prices over the past three months.
Finally, the fund's increased position in retail holdings helped
performance as consumer spending rallied and sent many of these stocks
soaring.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. VISX, a maker of lasers for eye surgery, was a big winner for the
fund. Its stock climbed 413% during the period. Lexmark, a
manufacturer of low-end computer printers, gained 76%. The company has
been able to garner large gross margins on its printer cartridges.
Another strong performer was Dayton Hudson, whose Target stores have
done incredibly well. Many retailers benefited from a very strong
consumer situation during the period. Economic reports showed that
consumer confidence was high, so people were more willing to open
their wallets.
Q. TECHNOLOGY REPRESENTED ABOUT 17% OF THE FUND AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD. HOW DID THESE HOLDINGS FARE?
A. Pretty well. For example, Lucent Technologies was a rocket ship.
The company continued to deliver reliable, above-average earnings
growth. In addition, Apple Computer and Best Buy were both strong
performers as computer sales continued at a brisk pace during the
period. Finally, almost any stock that had ties to the Internet
generated phenomenal returns during the period, including Microsoft
and Sun Microsystems.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Warner-Lambert and Schering-Plough were two of the biggest
detractors during the period as many of the drug stocks suffered due
to seasonal weakness and a couple of new product setbacks at the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration. Another detractor was CKE Restaurants, a
mini-conglomerate of fast-food chains. The company predicted a big
turnaround at its Hardees chain that never really manifested itself.
Finally, Homestake Mining hurt performance, as the price of gold - and
inflation - remained low. Generally, I don't tend to hold onto losing
stocks for long. As a result, the fund sold its positions in CKE
Restaurants and Homestake Mining by the end of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, BRAD?
A. Many of the fund's holdings - particularly the retailers -
benefited from strong consumer trends during the period. However, this
aggressive spending wave has actually taken our savings rate as a
nation into negative territory. Therefore, I don't think it can get
much better from here for the companies that benefited from high
consumer confidence over the past six months. Generally speaking, I
think that if interest rates remain stable, the market should generate
mediocre - but not great - returns. I'm also not terribly keen on the
outlook for small-cap stocks. I believe that small caps are a better
buy at the bottom of a bear market or a recession and we weren't
experiencing either at the end of the period.

BRAD LEWIS ON THE HIGH
VALUATIONS OF INTERNET STOCKS:
"Certainly many Internet
companies have above-average
growth prospects compared to a
typical established industrial
stock, but some traders have
embraced these stocks as a means
of easy riches and their valuations
have become problematic. In
general, `winning' stocks have
lower-than-average
price-to-earnings ratios with
above-average earnings growth and
increasing levels of earnings
estimate support from Wall Street.
Stocks that are expected to
underperform the market on a
one- to three-year level are those
that are losing money, trading at
extremely high price-to-sales
ratios and have large insider stock
sales. Most Internet stocks belong
in this category.
"For example, Priceline.com, an
online travel agency that has been
public for two months, recently
traded at a market capitalization
of $23.5 billion, or 118 times its
annualized sales. At the same
time, AMR, UAL and Delta, the
three biggest airlines in the U.S.,
have combined sales of $51 billion
- - absolutely dwarfing
Priceline.com's scale of business.
However, the combined market
cap of the big three airlines is
$25.2 billion, comparable to
Priceline.com. Although
Priceline.com may serve a
legitimate niche in the rapidly
growing online bookings field, this
valuation is troublesome because
the company is losing money.
"Internet stocks may well
continue their run for a few more
quarters. However, at some point,
I think the market will lose
patience with their decelerating
sales growth."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Stock Selector (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust
(the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at
the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, futures transactions, foreign
currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
market discount and non-taxable dividends. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax
purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Distribution in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Taxable Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements for these
securities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily
and paid monthly from net interest income.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND -
CONTINUED
Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as interest
income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $830,759,000 and $1,171,803,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .38% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .21% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $86,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $212,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS -

were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the
period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by
$1,000 and $12,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 21.41% 13.13% 53.91%
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 17.76% 9.74% 49.29%
(INCL. 3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 22.32% 21.82% 90.42%
Capital Appreciation Funds 27.00% 14.55% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on November 12, 1996. For example, if you had
invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the
value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how
the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare
it to the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 279 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 13.13% 19.13%
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 9.74% 17.67%
(INCL. 3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 21.82% 29.89%
Capital Appreciation Funds 14.55% n/a
Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity TechnoQuant Growth Fund on November 12, 1996,
when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As
the chart shows, by April 30, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $14,929 - a 49.29% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over
the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $19,042 - a 90.42% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the six-month period
that ended April 30, 1999. Investor
confidence was further bolstered
by a near-perfect economic
environment of strong domestic
growth, low interest rates, benign
inflation and improving overseas
markets. The hype surrounding
equities was greatest in the
technology sector, most notably
Internet stocks. Pharmaceutical,
finance and telecommunications
shares also performed well. Late in
the period, economically sensitive
cyclical stocks outperformed other
sectors as investors worried about
the potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level in late
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000. As
market leadership broadened into
cyclicals and value-oriented sectors,
the surge in stock prices continued to
drive the Dow Jones Industrials,
Standard & Poor's 500 and
NASDAQ indexes, which returned
26.58%, 22.32% and 43.55%,
respectively, for the six-month
period. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak returns of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
declined during the period.

An interview with Tim Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned
21.41%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 22.32%. The
capital appreciation funds average, tracked by Lipper Inc., returned
27.00% for the same time period. For the year that ended April 30,
1999, the fund returned 13.13%, while the S&P 500 and the peer group
returned 21.82% and 14.55%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE FALL SHORT OF ITS PEER GROUP AND THE
S&P 500 DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund modestly underperformed the S&P 500 because of narrow
market leadership - only a short list of the largest, growth-oriented
stocks fully participated in the market's advance over the past six
months. The fund had sizable positions in both large-cap and
high-growth technology stocks for most of the period. However, in
April 1999, my quantitative models suggested altering the fund's
makeup by swapping some large, technology stocks for more reasonably
valued defensive and cyclical stocks. These new holdings
underperformed the technology sector and limited the fund's gains.
Relative to the peer group, the story is similar - many funds
maintained or increased their large-cap, growth-oriented bias
throughout the period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED YOUR MODELS TO SHIFT DIRECTION?
A. Several conditions emerged during recent months that pointed to a
potential shift in the investment environment. First, we were entering
a seasonally weak market - historically, the May-to-October period has
been more difficult for the market indexes. Second, economic news from
Asia and other battered foreign markets was better than expected.
These signs of strength helped boost commodity prices, including crude
oil, metals and agricultural product prices. Third, manufacturing
activity has increased. Manufacturers may be building up to a major
production cycle during the second half of 1999, both to satisfy
increasing global demand and to supply inventory buildups in advance
of potential Year 2000 computer problems. These circumstances could
lead to higher interest rates and decreased market liquidity, both
conditions that would create an unfavorable climate for large, high
price-to-earnings stocks.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS BENEFITED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The biggest contributor to performance was the fund's investment in
large-cap technology stocks, particularly in the Internet sector. The
fund's total return benefited from Internet-related investments in
America Online, broadcast.com and eBay. All three are market leaders
in their niche - America Online is the nation's largest Internet
service provider, broadcast.com is a leading broadcaster of Web-based
media programming and eBay is the largest Internet auction house.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Unfortunately, yes. Although the models anticipate a less
favorable environment for very large growth stocks, I may have started
swapping out of them too early. Many of the portfolio's more defensive
stocks - such as Albertson's, Philip Morris and Heinz - detracted from
performance. Although I expect these stocks to perform well when
market dynamics change, over the short term they haven't lived up to
their potential.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I believe that by the second half of the year, market participation
should broaden to include a wider range of industry sectors as well as
move down the capitalization spectrum. I expect to continue
repositioning the fund to reflect those conditions and, assuming they
materialize, a well-diversified portfolio of stocks including
industries such as energy, food and basic materials has the potential
to outperform narrowly focused, high-growth oriented portfolios.

TIM KROCHUK ON DIVERSIFICATION:
"Traditionally, diversification has
been the Golden Rule of investment
management. According to modern
portfolio theory, spreading assets
among several types of investments
reduces risk. Therefore,
sacrificing diversification to
invest all your assets in a single
stock or industry sector is a risky
proposition. While you might be
rewarded with superior returns, you
might also be punished with severe
losses. Although portfolio
diversification may generate
smaller short-term rewards, it
should offer significant downside
protection and more stable
returns over a longer time
horizon.
"Recently, however, investors who
spread their money around have
experienced negative consequences
as diversified portfolios - including
many mutual funds - have
appreciated far less than the narrow
handful of market leaders. However,
an individual's ability to predict
market behavior is a high-risk
strategy. Over the past 30 years,
market leadership has fluctuated
widely. Although large-cap growth
stocks have dominated returns in
recent years, small stocks
outperformed in the early 1990s and
late 1970s, and international stocks
were on top in the 1980s.
Uncertainty about which stocks
will emerge as leaders - and how
long they will remain leaders - is
precisely the reason to hold a
diversified portfolio."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity TechnoQuant Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions, foreign currency transactions,
non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $38,547,956 and $47,490,299, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .34% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $9,616 on sales of shares of the fund all of which
was retained.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .34% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $3,640 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $9,550 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $762 and $76, respectively, under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

Capital Appreciation Funds 27.00% 14.55% 141.11% 303.77%
Average
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 279 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Value Fund on April 30, 1989. As the chart shows,
by April 30, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to
$40,628 - a 306.28% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $56,123 - a 461.23% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the six-month period
that ended April 30, 1999. Investor
confidence was further bolstered
by a near-perfect economic
environment of strong domestic
growth, low interest rates, benign
inflation and improving overseas
markets. The hype surrounding
equities was greatest in the
technology sector, most notably
Internet stocks. Pharmaceutical,
finance and telecommunications
shares also performed well. Late in
the period, economically sensitive
cyclical stocks outperformed other
sectors as investors worried about
the potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level in late
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000. As
market leadership broadened into
cyclicals and value-oriented sectors,
the surge in stock prices continued to
drive the Dow Jones Industrials,
Standard & Poor's 500 and
NASDAQ indexes, which returned
26.58%, 22.32% and 43.55%,
respectively, for the six-month
period. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak returns of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
declined during the period.

An interview with Rich Fentin,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Value Fund
Q. RICH, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX MONTHS THAT ENDED APRIL
30, 1999?
A. After a long spell when value stocks were out of favor, we finally
witnessed an impressive move by the market into value stocks in April.
That outstanding month helped the fund post a strong return of 21.17%
over the past six months. To compare, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 22.32%. The performance of the S&P 500 was driven by
large-capitalization blue chip companies that led the market during
the first five months of the period, continuing a trend we've seen
over the past few years. However, the fund didn't own those stocks
because they generally were too expensive to fall into the value
universe from which I choose stocks for the fund. During the period,
my strategy remained consistent, as I only bought stocks when I found
them to be cheap. The capital appreciation funds average tracked by
Lipper Inc. returned 27.00% during the period, largely the result of
the group's overall focus on stocks outside of the value realm,
including expensive stocks with high-growth potential, such as the
Internet stocks that wowed the market at the beginning of 1999. For
the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned 2.79%, the
S&P 500 index 21.82% and the Lipper capital appreciation funds average
14.55%.
Q. WHY DID INVESTORS BECOME INTERESTED IN VALUE STOCKS IN APRIL?
A. Mostly because there was confidence that worldwide economic growth
was on the upswing. For over six months, central banks around the
globe have instituted interest-rate cuts that stimulated growth.
Southeast Asia - plagued by problems since 1997 - showed signs of
recovery, and Brazil's currency survived a scare. Oil prices rebounded
as OPEC closed ranks to limit supply, and prices of other commodities
bottomed out and started to bounce back as well. In addition, economic
growth in the U.S. remained very healthy. Overall, earnings-growth
rates improved in the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of
1999, so investors were attracted to opportunities outside of the
narrow group of growth stocks that had led the market for some time.
After witnessing run-ups in large-cap growth stock prices over the
past few years, investors turned toward the value and opportunity
offered by the mid-capitalization and value stocks that have been out
of favor for the past few years. Many of these stocks were cyclicals -
companies whose earnings and stock performance are very sensitive to
the ups and downs of the economy.
Q. HOW DID THIS MARKET ROTATION INTO VALUE STOCKS AND CYCLICALS HELP
THE FUND?
A. The fund' s top two sector weightings in basic industries (23.2% of
investments at the end of the period) and industrial machinery &
equipment (11.5%), among others, point to a strong representation of
cyclicals in the fund, a position that helped performance in April.
Among the fund's top performers were specialty chemical company Nalco
Chemical, manufacturer American Standard, Alcoa, and steel processor
Nucor. Three retailers, Limited, Intimate Brands - which the fund no
longer owns - and Consolidated Stores, also contributed to the fund's
return. Browning-Ferris Industries - a waste management firm - helped
the fund because of its recently announced purchase by Allied Waste.
Finally, Micron Technology was a very strong performer due to
improvements in the computer memory chip cycle. I cut back on that
position because it stopped being a value stock when its share price
increased. That's one of the reasons the fund's technology stake
decreased during the period.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Printer R.R. Donnelley and Sons saw its share price decline,
although prospects for the company did not change; the stock just fell
out of the market's favor. Two other stocks that struggled were
engineering construction firms Fluor and Stone & Webster. Both
companies suffered from declining orders, although they remained in
the fund because there was positive news regarding the companies'
leading indicators; they were at the bottom of their business cycles
and their stocks were cheap.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The question that remains after a great April for value stocks is
whether or not the rally will be sustained. Even after these stocks
posted strong gains, the valuation gap between value stocks and the
large-cap blue chip growth stocks remained substantial. If the budding
worldwide economic recovery continues to gain steam, cheap stocks in
the mid-cap, value-oriented cyclical universe should continue to
thrive. Indeed, all of the factors that caused April's market shift
toward value stocks and cyclicals remain in place.

RICH FENTIN ON
DIVERSIFICATION:
"The relative performance of value
stocks in April pointed out to
investors why a value fund is an
important vehicle for a diversified
portfolio. Fidelity Value Fund
returned 18.90% in April, while the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned only 3.87%. Thanks to
April, the fund's year-to-date total
return was 16.16% compared to the
S&P 500's 9.05%.
"However, over the past few years,
the best performers in the market
were the large-cap, blue chip stocks
that make up the S&P 500. More
recently, Internet stocks that
promise - but haven't yet
delivered - substantial earnings
rocketed upward. April's change in
market sentiment points out that
different kinds of stocks have their
`day in the sun.' That's why it's
important to diversify one's
investments among different kinds
of stocks or mutual funds, be they
growth funds, international funds
or value funds. Historically, value
investing has proved to be an
effective way to make money in
the stock market. At some point,
S&P 500 companies may even start
to populate the value universe.
"It's difficult, if not impossible, to
know whether April's trend will
continue. However, if you diversify
your portfolio, you will be able to
take advantage of rallies in the
market where they arise."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Value Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust
(the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at
the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available
(and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is
accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes
withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund may invest
in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of Fidelity
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND - CONTINUED
Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements for these
securities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily
and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions earned
by the fund are recorded as interest income in the accompanying
financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $906,690,000 and $2,326,444,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .32% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .22% of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $347,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $446,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $1,000 and $57,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:
