* Summed across managers. Shares that two managers' reports both contain – a subsidiary's holdings that its parent's report includes too, or a sub-adviser's in its client's – are counted once ($812.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 424.2m as of 2025-06-20, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $386.60. Options: 74 managers hold calls ($4.3bn notional), 72 hold puts ($5.4bn).
