What affected the Fund's performance this period?

•U.S. stocks achieved a strong gain for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, reflecting enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, favorable corporate fundamentals and a resilient economy. Investment-grade bonds advanced modestly, as an early gain gave way to second-half weakness amid rising inflation, higher U.S. Treasury yields and expectations for higher policy interest rates.

•Against this backdrop, security selection among equities, along with an overweight - 68% of assets, on average - contributed to the fund's performance versus the Fidelity Puritan Composite Index for the fiscal year.

•Within investment-grade bonds - about 29% of assets - an underweight helped versus the Composite for the period. A modest non-Composite allocation to high-yield bonds also contributed to the fund's relative result.

•Within equities, selection in the information technology sector helped most, followed by picks in communication services and financials, along with positioning in energy. Conversely, investment choices in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from the fund's relative result, as did positioning among health care companies.

•The fund's non-Composite position in Space Exploration Technologies (+243%) was the top individual relative contributor by a wide margin. A non-Composite stake in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (+80%) and a timely overweight in biotechnology company Moderna (+466%), which was established this period, also boosted the fund's relative outcome.

•In contrast, underweight exposure to chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (+189%) and Apple (+37%) were the primary individual relative detractors.

•Noteworthy changes in positioning included increased allocations to the technology hardware & equipment group with information technology, along with the energy and health care sectors. Reductions among communication services and consumer discretionary companies also stood out.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?

•U.S. stocks achieved a strong gain for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, reflecting enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, strong corporate fundamentals and a resilient economy. Investment-grade bonds advanced modestly, as an early gain gave way to second-half weakness amid rising inflation, a resilient economy and expectations for higher policy interest rates.

•Against this backdrop, security selection among equities was the biggest contributor to performance versus the Fidelity Balanced Hybrid Composite Index for the fiscal year, by far. The fund's asset allocation - comprised of outsized exposure to stocks and an underweight in bonds - also helped.

•As it relates to equities, picks in the information technology sector notably aided the portfolio's outcome versus the S&P 500® index, followed by investment choices in communication services and financials.

•The top individual relative contributor was an out-of-benchmark stake in South Korea-based memory chipmaker SK Hynix (+348%), which we sold this period. In the same industry, an overweight in Micron Technology (+699%) also helped. We reduced this position, but it remained one of the fund's largest holdings at period end.

•Conversely, stock selection in health care detracted from the fund's relative return. In stock-specific terms, undersized exposure to chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (+189%) detracted most. We significantly increased this position during the period. Untimely ownership of computer-software and cloud-services provider Microsoft (+1%) also hurt. The stock was one of the portfolio's largest holdings on August 31, despite reducing the position.

•Turning to the fund's investment-grade bonds holdings, meaningful contribution relative to the benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the fiscal year came from overweight allocations to securitized products - specifically, outperforming stakes in asset-backed securities. Conversely, the combination of yield-curve positioning and modestly longer-than-benchmark duration detracted a bit in a rising-rate environment.

•Notable changes in positioning include a higher allocation to the information technology sector and reduced exposure to consumer discretionary stocks.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?

•U.S. stocks achieved a strong gain for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, reflecting enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, strong corporate fundamentals and a resilient economy. Investment-grade bonds advanced modestly, as an early gain gave way to second-half weakness amid rising inflation, a resilient economy and expectations for higher policy interest rates.

•Against this backdrop, security selection among equities was the biggest contributor to performance versus the Fidelity Balanced Hybrid Composite Index for the fiscal year, by far. The fund's asset allocation - comprised of outsized exposure to stocks and an underweight in bonds - also helped.

•As it relates to equities, picks in the information technology sector notably aided the fund's outcome versus the S&P 500® index, followed by investment choices in communication services and financials.

•The top individual relative contributor was an out-of-benchmark stake in South Korea-based memory chipmaker SK Hynix (+347%), which we sold this period. In the same industry, an overweight in Micron Technology (+697%) also helped. We reduced this position, but it remained one of the fund's largest holdings at period end.

•Conversely, stock selection in health care detracted from the fund's relative return. In stock-specific terms, undersized exposure to chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (+189%) detracted most. We significantly increased this position during the period. Untimely ownership of computer-software and cloud-services provider Microsoft (+0.5%) also hurt.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?

•U.S. stocks achieved a strong gain for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, reflecting enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, strong corporate fundamentals and a resilient economy. Investment-grade bonds advanced modestly, as an early gain gave way to second-half weakness amid rising inflation, a resilient economy and expectations for higher policy interest rates.

•Against this backdrop, security selection among equities was the biggest contributor to performance versus the Fidelity Balanced Hybrid Composite Index for the fiscal year, by far. The fund's asset allocation - comprised of outsized exposure to stocks and an underweight in bonds - also helped.

•As it relates to equities, picks in the information technology sector notably aided the fund's outcome versus the S&P 500® index, followed by investment choices in communication services and financials.

•The top individual relative contributor was an out-of-benchmark stake in South Korea-based memory chipmaker SK Hynix (+347%), which we sold this period. In the same industry, an overweight in Micron Technology (+697%) also helped. We reduced this position, but it remained one of the fund's largest holdings at period end.

•Conversely, stock selection in health care detracted from the fund's relative return. In stock-specific terms, undersized exposure to chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (+189%) detracted most. We significantly increased this position during the period. Untimely ownership of computer-software and cloud-services provider Microsoft (+0.5%) also hurt. The stock was one of the portfolio's largest holdings on August 31, despite reducing the position.

•Turning to the fund's investment-grade bond holdings, meaningful contribution relative to the benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the fiscal year came from overweight allocations to securitized products - specifically, outperforming stakes in asset-backed securities. Conversely, the combination of yield-curve positioning and a modestly longer-than-benchmark duration detracted a bit in a rising-rate environment.

•Notable changes in positioning include a higher allocation to the information technology sector and reduced exposure to consumer discretionary stocks.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?

•U.S. stocks achieved a strong gain for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, reflecting enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, strong corporate fundamentals and a resilient economy. Investment-grade bonds advanced modestly, as an early gain gave way to second-half weakness amid rising inflation, a resilient economy and expectations for higher policy interest rates.

•Against this backdrop, security selection among equities was the biggest contributor to performance versus the Fidelity Balanced Hybrid Composite Index for the fiscal year, by far. The fund's asset allocation - comprised of outsized exposure to stocks and an underweight in bonds - also helped.

•As it relates to equities, picks in the information technology sector notably aided the fund's outcome versus the S&P 500® index, followed by investment choices in communication services and financials.

•The top individual relative contributor was an out-of-benchmark stake in South Korea-based memory chipmaker SK Hynix (+347%), which we sold this period. In the same industry, an overweight in Micron Technology (+697%) also helped. We reduced this position, but it remained one of the fund's largest holdings at period end.

•Conversely, stock selection in health care detracted from the fund's relative return. In stock-specific terms, undersized exposure to chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (+189%) detracted most. We significantly increased this position during the period. Untimely ownership of computer-software and cloud-services provider Microsoft (+0.5%) also hurt. The stock was one of the portfolio's largest holdings on August 31, despite reducing the position.

•Turning to the fund's investment-grade bond holdings, meaningful contribution relative to the benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the fiscal year came from overweight allocations to securitized products - specifically, outperforming stakes in asset-backed securities. Conversely, the combination of yield-curve positioning and a modestly longer-than-benchmark duration detracted a bit in a rising-rate environment.

•Notable changes in positioning include a higher allocation to the information technology sector and reduced exposure to consumer discretionary stocks.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC in its(their) audit of the Fund(s), taking into account representations from PwC, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Fund(s) and its(their) related entities and FMR’s review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund(s) Service Providers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (“Covered Service”) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee periodically.

Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X (“De Minimis Exception”)

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Fund’s(s’) last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Fund(s) or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund(s).

The Registrant has not retained, for the preparation of the audit report on the financial statements included in the Form N-CSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) has determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction.

The Registrant is not a “foreign issuer,” as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2026

  • 1. Organization.

Fidelity® Puritan® K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Puritan 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 (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.

  • 2. Investment in Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC, which is an affiliated limited liability company. Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC's units are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. The Fund has no redemption rights under Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC's limited liability company agreement. There will be no trading market for the units.

Based on its investment objective, Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC may invest or participate in various investments or strategies that are similar to those in which the Fund may invest or participate. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC intends to invest primarily in directly originated loans to private companies but also with liquid credit investments, like broadly syndicated loans, and other select private credit investments.

The Schedule of Investments lists Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC. Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC represented less than 5% of the Fund's net assets at period end. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC. The annualized expense ratio for Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 was 9.59%.

The Board of Directors of Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC and Fidelity Private Credit Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Merger Agreement provided for the transfer of all the assets and the assumption of all the liabilities of Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC in exchange for corresponding units of Fidelity Private Credit Company II LLC equal in value to the net assets of Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC on the day the reorganization was effective. The reorganization occurred on July 31, 2026. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the funds or their unit holders. In addition, Fidelity Private Credit Company II LLC was re-named Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC effective July 31, 2026.

  • 3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's portfolio management team, part of the investment adviser, serves as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and directs the Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective and policies, with support from others responsible for oversight functions. The information reviewed by the CODM is consistent with the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters. 

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below: 

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments 

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.) 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For any foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC is valued at its net asset value (NAV) each month end and is categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of period end is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the investment holdings and net asset value (NAV) include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day.

Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Dividend income for domestic securities is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from any foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as a fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Income and capital gain distributions from any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Certain distributions received represent a return of capital or capital gain. Components of these distributions are determined subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. If actual amounts are not available, the Fund estimates the components of these distributions. When estimates are used, the Fund adjusts the components of these distributions as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.  

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

As of August 31, 2026, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences may result in distribution reclassifications.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to: foreign currency transactions, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may 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. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

  • 4. Derivative Instruments. 

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. 

The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including options . Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.  

Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.

Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):

 

Equity Risk  

 

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund.  

Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Derivative Instruments by Primary Risk Exposure. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance, summarizes the value of derivatives at period end, as well as the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Statement of Operations.

Written Options

2,045,878

Options. Options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying security or financial instrument at an agreed exercise or strike price between or on certain dates. Options obligate the seller (writer) to buy (put) or sell (call) an underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price or cash settle an underlying derivative instrument if the holder exercises the option on or before the expiration date. 

Exchange-traded written covered call options were used to manage exposure to the market. When a fund writes a covered call option, a fund holds the underlying instrument which must be delivered to the holder upon the exercise of the option. 

Upon entering into a written options contract, a fund will receive a premium. Premiums received are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Options are valued daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in total accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a written option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining the gain or loss realized on that investment. When an option is closed, a gain or loss is realized depending on whether the proceeds or amount paid for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium received. When an option expires, gains and losses are realized to the extent of premiums received. The net realized gain (loss) on closed and expired written options and the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options are presented in the Statement of Operations. 

Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument and risk of loss is the change in value in excess of the premium received.  

Any open options at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Written Options".

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds at rates that are beneficial to both the borrowing and lending fund. Borrowings under the program are generally for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting fund shareholder redemptions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Exemptive Order, by averaging, (1) the higher of the overnight time deposit rate and the current overnight repurchase agreement rate, and (2) a benchmark rate representing the lowest bank loan rate available to the funds.

At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding.

Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

  • 7. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes.

Commitment fees are charged based on the unused amount of the line of credit at an annual rate of .10%, and then allocated to each participating fund based on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit.

The commitment fees are borne by the investment adviser.

Interest is charged to a participating fund based on its borrowings at an annual rate of .75% plus the highest of (i) daily SOFR, (ii) Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (iii) Overnight Bank Funding Rate. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.  

The line of credit agreement will expire in March 2027 unless extended or renewed.

  • 8. Security Lending.

Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, the borrowers provide collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The fair value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or gaining access to non-cash collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral, securities lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium income received and is presented in the Statement of Operations in dividends - affiliated issuers. For non-cash collateral, securities lending income represents fees received from borrowers as compensation for the securities loaned and is presented in the Statement of Operations in security lending income - unaffiliated issuers. Securities lending income is reduced by any lending agent fees associated with the loan. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:

  • 12. Other.

A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

  • 13. Risk and Uncertainties.

Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as public health emergencies, military conflicts, terrorism, government restrictions, political changes, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Puritan Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Puritan K6 Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Fidelity Puritan K6 Fund (one of the funds constituting Fidelity Puritan Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, issuers of privately offered securities and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Puritan K6 Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other U.S. registered funds (Fidelity funds) through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

Approval of Stub Period Continuation. At its May 2026 meeting, the Board voted to continue the fund's Advisory Contracts, without modification, for two months from June 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026. The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through July 31, 2026, with the understanding that the Board would consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in July 2026.

At its July meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor and the factors may have been weighed differently by individual Trustees.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and its applicable Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers' staff, such as size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that the Investment Advisers' analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, and to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures, including with respect to liquidity risk management. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account and market information over the Internet, via Fidelity's mobile app and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations to the Board that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.

Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.  

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's unitary fee rate as well as other fund expenses paid by FMR under the fund's management contract, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.

Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "total peer groups") that were compiled by Fidelity using portfolio attributes from Morningstar and combining similar Morningstar categories that have comparable investment mandates and Morningstar distribution attributes. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or waivers) relative to funds and classes in the total peer group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the total peer group that are generally similar in size to the fund (referred to as the "asset-sized peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the total peer group; and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the asset-sized peer group. The total peer group and asset-sized peer group comparisons include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, reimbursements, waivers, and acquired fund fees and expenses, and exclude performance adjustments.

The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity other than the fund, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar investment mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.  Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of the fund and all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each Fidelity fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) and their shareholders have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also considered that shareholders benefit from pricing funds at scale from inception. The Board recognized that, due to the fund's current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund's operating costs decrease as assets grow, or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the most recent findings of the committee.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, including the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, Fidelity's portfolio manager oversight and quarterly fund review processes, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) fund rationalization and merger activity; (iii) the operation of performance fees, the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others, and certain additional performance fee data; (iv) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (v) fund profitability methodology and data; (vi) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons, including the treatment of acquired fund fees and expenses in total expense comparisons and peer group methodology changes; (vii) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes, including the variable unified fee structure and recent ETF management fee reductions; (viii) revenue and expense components at the fund and discipline level in connection with the profitability methodology; (ix) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity; (x) information about the funds' sub-advisory arrangements, including fee structure variances between sub-advisers, sub-adviser profitability data and sub-adviser code of ethics matters; and (xi) oversight of Fidelity's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including governance frameworks, risk controls, and AI-related risk mitigation.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through July 31, 2027.

The information used in the above reconciliation represents fiscal year to date activity for any Investments in Securities identified as using Level 3 inputs at either the beginning or the end of the current fiscal period. Cost of purchases and proceeds of sales may include securities received and/or delivered through in-kind transactions, corporate actions or exchanges. Transfers into Level 3 were attributable to a lack of observable market data resulting from decreases in market activity, decreases in liquidity, security restructurings or corporate actions. Transfers out of Level 3 were attributable to observable market data becoming available for those securities. Transfers in or out of Level 3 represent the beginning value of any Security or Instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) disclosed in the reconciliation are included in net gain (loss) on the Fund's consolidated Statement of Operations.

  • 3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's portfolio management team, part of the investment adviser, serves as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and directs the Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective and policies, with support from others responsible for oversight functions. The information reviewed by the CODM is consistent with the Fund's consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters. 

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below: 

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments 

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.) 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For any foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Securities, including private placements or other restricted securities, for which observable inputs are not available are valued using alternate valuation approaches, including the market approach, the income approach and cost approach, and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The market approach considers factors including the price of recent investments in the same or a similar security or financial metrics of comparable securities. The income approach considers factors including expected future cash flows, security specific risks and corresponding discount rates. The cost approach considers factors including the value of the security's underlying assets and liabilities.

Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC is valued at its net asset value (NAV) each month end and is categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

The following provides information on Level 3 securities held by the Fund that were valued at period end based on unobservable inputs. These amounts exclude valuations provided by a broker.

* Represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that could have resulted from an increase in the corresponding input as of period end. A decrease to the unobservable input would have had the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs may have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at period end.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of period end, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 instruments, is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the investment holdings and net asset value (NAV) include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day.

Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Dividend income for domestic securities is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from any foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as a fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Income and capital gain distributions from any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Certain distributions received represent a return of capital or capital gain. Components of these distributions are determined subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. If actual amounts are not available, the Fund estimates the components of these distributions. When estimates are used, the Fund adjusts the components of these distributions as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable.  Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

As of August 31, 2026, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which the Fund invests. Any estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the applicable Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences may result in distribution reclassifications.

In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the Consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to: certain foreign taxes, foreign currency transactions, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in-kind, short-term gain distributions from the underlying mutual funds or ETFs, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may 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. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

Commitments. A commitment is an agreement to acquire an investment at a future date (subject to conditions) in connection with a potential public or non-public offering. Commitments outstanding at period end are presented in the table below. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on any commitments outstanding at period end is separately presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on unfunded commitments, and any change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on unfunded commitments during the period is separately presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, as applicable based on contractual conditions of each commitment.

At period end, any estimated tax liability for these investments is presented as deferred taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and included in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The tax liability incurred may differ materially depending on conditions when these investments are disposed. Any cash held by a Subsidiary is restricted as to its use and is presented as restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable.

  • 4. Derivative Instruments. 

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. 

The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including options . Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.  

Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.

Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):

 

Equity Risk  

 

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund.  

Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Derivative Instruments by Primary Risk Exposure. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance, summarizes the value of derivatives at period end, as well as the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Written Options

29,927,997

Options. Options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying security or financial instrument at an agreed exercise or strike price between or on certain dates. Options obligate the seller (writer) to buy (put) or sell (call) an underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price or cash settle an underlying derivative instrument if the holder exercises the option on or before the expiration date. 

Exchange-traded written covered call options were used to manage exposure to the market. When a fund writes a covered call option, a fund holds the underlying instrument which must be delivered to the holder upon the exercise of the option. 

Upon entering into a written options contract, a fund will receive a premium. Premiums received are reflected as a liability on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Options are valued daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in total accumulated earnings (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a written option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining the gain or loss realized on that investment. When an option is closed, a gain or loss is realized depending on whether the proceeds or amount paid for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium received. When an option expires, gains and losses are realized to the extent of premiums received. The net realized gain (loss) on closed and expired written options and the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 

Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument and risk of loss is the change in value in excess of the premium received.  

Any open options at period end are presented in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments under the caption "Written Options".

  • 6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.

The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class. The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee.

Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month.

When determining a class's basic fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once the Fund's monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class. The annual basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.

One-twelfth of the basic fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the basic fee for the class for that month.

A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the Fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class.

For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds at rates that are beneficial to both the borrowing and lending fund. Borrowings under the program are generally for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting fund shareholder redemptions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Exemptive Order, by averaging, (1) the higher of the overnight time deposit rate and the current overnight repurchase agreement rate, and (2) a benchmark rate representing the lowest bank loan rate available to the funds.

At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding.

Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.

  • 7. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes.

Commitment fees are charged based on the unused amount of the line of credit at an annual rate of .10%, and then allocated to each participating fund based on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit.

The commitment fees are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Interest is charged to a participating fund based on its borrowings at an annual rate of .75% plus the highest of (i) daily SOFR, (ii) Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (iii) Overnight Bank Funding Rate. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.  

The line of credit agreement will expire in March 2027 unless extended or renewed.

  • 8. Security Lending.

Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, the borrowers provide collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The fair value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or gaining access to non-cash collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral, securities lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium income received and is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in dividends - affiliated issuers. For non-cash collateral, securities lending income represents fees received from borrowers as compensation for the securities loaned and is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in security lending income - unaffiliated issuers. Securities lending income is reduced by any lending agent fees associated with the loan. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:

  • 12. Other.

A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

  • 13. Risk and Uncertainties.

Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as public health emergencies, military conflicts, terrorism, government restrictions, political changes, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Puritan Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Puritan Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Fidelity Puritan Fund and its subsidiaries (one of the funds constituting Fidelity Puritan Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, issuers of privately offered securities and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Puritan Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other U.S. registered funds (Fidelity funds) through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

Approval of Stub Period Continuation. At its May 2026 meeting, the Board voted to continue the fund's Advisory Contracts, without modification, for two months from June 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026. The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through July 31, 2026, with the understanding that the Board would consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in July 2026.

At its July 2026 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and the total expense ratio of a representative class generally determined by selecting the largest non-12b-1 class by asset total in a given fund category; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor and the factors may have been weighed differently by individual Trustees.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and its applicable Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers' staff, such as size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that the Investment Advisers' analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, and to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures, including with respect to liquidity risk management. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account and market information over the Internet, via Fidelity's mobile app and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations to the Board that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.

Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that the fund has class-level management fees based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the variable management fee, each class of the fund receives investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the management fee and total expense ratio of the representative class (retail class), the Board considered the effective management fee rate for the retail class, as well as other third-party fund expenses, as applicable, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.

Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "total peer groups") that were compiled by Fidelity using portfolio attributes from Morningstar and combining similar Morningstar Categories that have comparable investment mandates and Morningstar distribution attributes. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or waivers) of the retail class of the fund relative to funds and classes in the total peer group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the total peer group that are generally similar in size to the fund (referred to as the "asset-sized peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to the total peer group; and (iv) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to the asset-sized peer group. The total peer group and asset-sized peer group total expense comparisons include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, reimbursements, waivers, and acquired fund fees and expenses, and exclude performance adjustments.

The information provided to the Board indicated that the management fee rate of the retail class of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the retail class of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025.

The Board noted that a different variable management fee rate is applicable to each class of the fund. The Board considered that the difference in management fee rates between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses and not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity other than the fund, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar investment mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the management fee of each class of the fund is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of the fund and all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each Fidelity fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies,

A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) and their shareholders have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also considered that shareholders benefit from pricing funds at scale from inception. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the recent findings of the committee.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist (i) at the asset class level determined based on the total assets of specified Fidelity funds in the same asset class as the fund, and (ii) through a discount that considers both fund size and the total assets of a broader group of specified Fidelity funds. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, including the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, Fidelity's portfolio manager oversight and quarterly fund review processes, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) fund rationalization and merger activity; (iii) the operation of performance fees, the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others, and certain additional performance fee data; (iv) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (v) fund profitability methodology and data; (vi) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons, including the treatment of acquired fund fees and expenses in total expense comparisons and peer group methodology changes; (vii) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes, including the variable unified fee structure and recent ETF management fee reductions; (viii) revenue and expense components at the fund and discipline level in connection with the profitability methodology; (ix) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity; (x) information about the funds' sub-advisory arrangements, including fee structure variances between sub-advisers, sub-adviser profitability data and sub-adviser code of ethics matters; and (xi) oversight of Fidelity's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including governance frameworks, risk controls, and AI-related risk mitigation.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through July 31, 2027.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2026

  • 1. Organization.

Fidelity® Balanced K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Puritan 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 (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.

  • 2. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's portfolio management team, part of the investment adviser, serves as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and directs the Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective and policies, with support from others responsible for oversight functions. The information reviewed by the CODM is consistent with the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters. 

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below: 

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments 

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.) 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For any foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing services or from brokers who make markets in such securities. U.S. Treasury Obligations are valued by pricing services who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities  may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing services. For any foreign debt securities, when significant market or security specific events arise, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of period end is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the investment holdings and net asset value (NAV) include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day.

Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Dividend income for domestic securities is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from any foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as a fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Income and capital gain distributions from any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Certain distributions received represent a return of capital or capital gain. Components of these distributions are determined subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. If actual amounts are not available, the Fund estimates the components of these distributions. When estimates are used, the Fund adjusts the components of these distributions as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.  

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

As of August 31, 2026, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which the Fund invests. Any estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences may result in distribution reclassifications.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to: certain foreign taxes, foreign currency transactions, futures transactions, market discount, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may 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. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

  • 3. Derivative Instruments. 

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. 

The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.  

Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.

Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):

 

Equity Risk  

 

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund.  

Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Derivative Instruments by Primary Risk Exposure. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance, summarizes the value of derivatives at period end, as well as the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Statement of Operations.

Futures Contracts

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts were used to manage exposure to the stock market. 

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily. Subsequent payments from or to a fund are made as needed depending on the fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations. 

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end.  

Any securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Any cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements is presented as segregated cash with brokers for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

  • 6. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes.

Commitment fees are charged based on the unused amount of the line of credit at an annual rate of .10%, and then allocated to each participating fund based on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit.

The commitment fees are borne by the investment adviser.

Interest is charged to a participating fund based on its borrowings at an annual rate of .75% plus the highest of (i) daily SOFR, (ii) Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (iii) Overnight Bank Funding Rate. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.  

The line of credit agreement will expire in March 2027 unless extended or renewed.

  • 7. Security Lending.

Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, the borrowers provide collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The fair value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or gaining access to non-cash collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral, securities lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium income received and is presented in the Statement of Operations in dividends - affiliated issuers. For non-cash collateral, securities lending income represents fees received from borrowers as compensation for the securities loaned and is presented in the Statement of Operations in security lending income - unaffiliated issuers. Securities lending income is reduced by any lending agent fees associated with the loan. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:

At period end, the value of any non-cash collateral is presented below. Non-cash collateral is held by a third-party bank for the benefit of a fund and the borrower. A fund is not permitted to sell or re-pledge non-cash collateral except in the event of borrower default, and therefore it is not included in the Schedule of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

  • 11. Other.

A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

  • 12. Risk and Uncertainties.

Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as public health emergencies, military conflicts, terrorism, government restrictions, political changes, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Puritan Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Balanced K6 Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Fidelity Balanced K6 Fund (one of the funds constituting Fidelity Puritan Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, issuers of privately offered securities and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Balanced K6 Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other U.S. registered funds (Fidelity funds) through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

Approval of Stub Period Continuation. At its May 2026 meeting, the Board voted to continue the fund's Advisory Contracts, without modification, for two months from June 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026. The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through July 31, 2026, with the understanding that the Board would consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in July 2026.

At its July 2026 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor and the factors may have been weighed differently by individual Trustees.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and its applicable Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers' staff, such as size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that the Investment Advisers' analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, and to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures, including with respect to liquidity risk management. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account and market information over the Internet, via Fidelity mobile app and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations to the Board that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.

Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.  

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's unitary fee rate as well as other fund expenses paid by FMR under the fund's management contract, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.

Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "total peer groups") that were compiled by Fidelity using portfolio attributes from Morningstar and combining similar Morningstar categories that have comparable investment mandates and Morningstar distribution attributes. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or waivers) relative to funds and classes in the total peer group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the total peer group that are generally similar in size to the fund (referred to as the "asset-sized peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the total peer group; and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the asset-sized peer group. The total peer group and asset-sized peer group comparisons include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, reimbursements, waivers, and acquired fund fees and expenses, and exclude performance adjustments.

The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity other than the fund, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar investment mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.  Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of the fund and all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each Fidelity fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) and their shareholders have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also considered that shareholders benefit from pricing funds at scale from inception. The Board recognized that, due to the fund's current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund's operating costs decrease as assets grow, or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the most recent findings of the committee.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, including the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, Fidelity's portfolio manager oversight and quarterly fund review processes, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) fund rationalization and merger activity; (iii) the operation of performance fees, the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others, and certain additional performance fee data; (iv) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (v) fund profitability methodology and data; (vi) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons, including the treatment of acquired fund fees and expenses in total expense comparisons and peer group methodology changes; (vii) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes, including the variable unified fee structure and recent ETF management fee reductions; (viii) revenue and expense components at the fund and discipline level in connection with the profitability methodology; (ix) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity; (x) information about the funds' sub-advisory arrangements, including fee structure variances between sub-advisers, sub-adviser profitability data and sub-adviser code of ethics matters; and (xi) oversight of Fidelity's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including governance frameworks, risk controls, and AI-related risk mitigation.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through July 31, 2027.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2026

  • 1. Organization.

Fidelity® Balanced Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Puritan 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 (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund offers the classes of shares listed below.

Fidelity® Balanced Fund

Class A, Class M, Class C, Fidelity® Balanced Fund, Class K, Class I, and Class Z

Each class has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges, and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I and Class Z, as applicable, are Fidelity Advisor classes.

Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.

  • 2. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's portfolio management team, part of the investment adviser, serves as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and directs the Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective and policies, with support from others responsible for oversight functions. The information reviewed by the CODM is consistent with the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters. 

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below: 

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments 

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.) 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For any foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing services or from brokers who make markets in such securities. U.S. Treasury Obligations are valued by pricing services who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities  may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing services. For any foreign debt securities, when significant market or security specific events arise, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of period end is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the investment holdings and net asset value (NAV) include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day.

Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Dividend income for domestic securities is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from any foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as a fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Income and capital gain distributions from any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Certain distributions received represent a return of capital or capital gain. Components of these distributions are determined subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. If actual amounts are not available, the Fund estimates the components of these distributions. When estimates are used, the Fund adjusts the components of these distributions as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable.  Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

As of August 31, 2026, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which the Fund invests. Any estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences may result in distribution reclassifications.

In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to: certain foreign taxes, foreign currency transactions, futures transactions, market discount, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in-kind, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may 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. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

  • 3. Derivative Instruments. 

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. 

The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.  

Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.

Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):

 

Equity Risk  

 

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund.  

Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Derivative Instruments by Primary Risk Exposure. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance, summarizes the value of derivatives at period end, as well as the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Statement of Operations.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts were used to manage exposure to the stock market. 

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily. Subsequent payments from or to a fund are made as needed depending on the fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations. 

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end.  

Any securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Any cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements is presented as segregated cash with brokers for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

  • 5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.

The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class. The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee.

Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month.

When determining a class's basic fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once the Fund's monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class. The annual basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.

One-twelfth of the basic fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the basic fee for the class for that month.

A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the Fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class.

For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares have been adopted by the Fund. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and or Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class's average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares and providing shareholder support services.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for certain Funds, certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in affiliated mutual funds, are marked-to-market and remain in a fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees presented below are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, as applicable.

  • 6. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes.

Commitment fees are charged based on the unused amount of the line of credit at an annual rate of .10%, and then allocated to each participating fund based on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit.

The commitment fees are presented in the Statement of Operations.

Interest is charged to a participating fund based on its borrowings at an annual rate of .75% plus the highest of (i) daily SOFR, (ii) Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (iii) Overnight Bank Funding Rate. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.  

The line of credit agreement will expire in March 2027 unless extended or renewed.

  • 7. Security Lending.

Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, the borrowers provide collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The fair value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or gaining access to non-cash collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral, securities lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium income received and is presented in the Statement of Operations in dividends - affiliated issuers. For non-cash collateral, securities lending income represents fees received from borrowers as compensation for the securities loaned and is presented in the Statement of Operations in security lending income - unaffiliated issuers. Securities lending income is reduced by any lending agent fees associated with the loan. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:

At period end, the value of any non-cash collateral is presented below. Non-cash collateral is held by a third-party bank for the benefit of a fund and the borrower. A fund is not permitted to sell or re-pledge non-cash collateral except in the event of borrower default, and therefore it is not included in the Schedule of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

  • 11. Other.

A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

  • 12. Risk and Uncertainties.

Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as public health emergencies, military conflicts, terrorism, government restrictions, political changes, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

  • 13. Prior Fiscal Year Reorganization Information.

On October 25, 2024, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Balanced Fund ("Acquired Fund") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (Agreements) approved by the Board of Trustees ("The Board").  The securities held by the Acquired Fund were the primary assets acquired by the Fund. In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced sale of shares on October 18, 2024. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of each class of the Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Acquired Fund at its respective net asset value on the acquisition date. The reorganization provides shareholders of the Acquired Fund access to a larger portfolio with a similar investment objective and lower projected expenses. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund were carried forward and will be utilized for purposes of the Fund's ongoing reporting of realized and unrealized gains and losses to more closely align subsequent reporting of realized gains with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.  The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Puritan Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Balanced Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Fidelity Balanced Fund (one of the funds constituting Fidelity Puritan Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, issuers of privately offered securities and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Balanced Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other U.S. registered funds (Fidelity funds) through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

Approval of Stub Period Continuation. At its May 2026 meeting, the Board voted to continue the fund's Advisory Contracts, without modification, for two months from June 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026. The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through July 31, 2026, with the understanding that the Board would consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in July 2026.

At its July 2026 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and the total expense ratio of a representative class generally determined by selecting the largest non-12b-1 class by asset total in a given fund category; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor and the factors may have been weighed differently by individual Trustees.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and its applicable Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers' staff, such as size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that the Investment Advisers' analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, and to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures, including with respect to liquidity risk management. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account and market information over the Internet, via Fidelity's mobile app and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations to the Board that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.

Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that the fund has class-level management fees based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the variable management fee, each class of the fund receives investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the management fee and total expense ratio of the representative class (retail class), the Board considered the effective management fee rate for the retail class, as well as other third-party fund expenses, as applicable, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees and any fund-paid 12b-1 fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.

Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "total peer groups") that were compiled by Fidelity using portfolio attributes from Morningstar and combining similar Morningstar Categories that have comparable investment mandates and Morningstar distribution attributes. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or waivers) of the retail class of the fund relative to funds and classes in the total peer group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the total peer group that are generally similar in size to the fund (referred to as the "asset-sized peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to the total peer group; and (iv) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to the asset-sized peer group. The total peer group and asset-sized peer group total expense comparisons include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, reimbursements, waivers, and acquired fund fees and expenses, and exclude performance adjustments.

The information provided to the Board indicated that the management fee rate of the retail class of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the retail class of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the total peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025 and below the competitive median of the asset-sized peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025.

The Board noted that a different variable management fee rate is applicable to each class of the fund. The Board considered that the difference in management fee rates between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses and not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity other than the fund, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar investment mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the management fee of each class of the fund is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of the fund and all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each Fidelity fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) and their shareholders have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also considered that shareholders benefit from pricing funds at scale from inception. The Board also noted that a committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the recent findings of the committee.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist (i) at the asset class level determined based on the total assets of specified Fidelity funds in the same asset class as the fund, and (ii) through a discount that considers both fund size and the total assets of a broader group of specified Fidelity funds. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, including the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, Fidelity's portfolio manager oversight and quarterly fund review processes, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) fund rationalization and merger activity; (iii) the operation of performance fees, the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others, and certain additional performance fee data; (iv) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (v) fund profitability methodology and data; (vi) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons, including the treatment of acquired fund fees and expenses in total expense comparisons and peer group methodology changes; (vii) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes, including the variable unified fee structure and recent ETF management fee reductions; (viii) revenue and expense components at the fund and discipline level in connection with the profitability methodology; (ix) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity; (x) information about the funds' sub-advisory arrangements, including fee structure variances between sub-advisers, sub-adviser profitability data and sub-adviser code of ethics matters; and (xi) oversight of Fidelity's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including governance frameworks, risk controls, and AI-related risk mitigation.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through July 31, 2027.
