The Fidelity Value Fund dividend comes from a fund that targets undervalued common stocks, focusing on companies with significant tangible assets or attractive valuations based on earnings and growth potential. FDVLX pays an annual dividend of $1.3850 per share, with the next ex-dividend date set for December 12, 2025. The current yield stands at 7.96%. That yield level, paired with a beta of 1.091, positions this fund for income-focused investors who can tolerate moderate market volatility.
Fidelity Value Fund pays out dividends as a fund, making the payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). The payout level reflects distributions from the fund's underlying holdings, which span domestic and international value-oriented equities across mid-sized, large, and small companies. Fidelity Value Fund dividend safety is shaped primarily by the performance of those holdings, since distributions are tied to realized gains and income generated by the portfolio rather than a fixed corporate earnings stream. The most significant pressure point is that annual distributions have swung sharply from year to year, with the history table showing payments ranging from $0.118 to $10.505 per share in a single year.
Fidelity Value Fund dividend history shows a CAGR of -4.5% per year from 1998 to 2024. Per-share payments moved from $7.70 at the start of the window to $2.3360 by 2024 (with 2025 and 2026 data partial and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 1282.1% in 2004, which reflects how erratically distributions have moved rather than any sustained upward trend. The history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, reinforcing that growth here is not linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +16.1% | $0.88 (2022) | $1.39 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -18.3% | $10.51 (2015) | $1.39 (2025) |
FDVLX fits income-focused investors who want a high current yield from a value-oriented equity fund and can accept year-to-year distribution variability. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), currently at 7.96%, which sits above the fund's own 5-year average of 7.56%. That premium is meaningful on paper, but the -4.5% CAGR over the full history window makes clear that the per-share payout has shrunk over time, not grown. What an investor gets is a high current yield from a diversified value equity portfolio. What they accept is unpredictable annual distributions and a long-run trend of declining per-share payments.
