Capital gains distribution??

So my Fidelity account just showed a bunch of weird stuff for my FSPTX fund. It says short-term gain, long-term gain, and then something got reinvested. I didn’t actually buy anything, but my shares went from around 150 to 160.

Is that basically a dividend? I honestly don’t really know what a capital gains distribution is supposed to be.

• a reinvestment for –$437.86
• a short-term gain for +$55.95
• a long-term gain for +$381.91
