* 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 ($605.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 410.5m as of 2026-01-09, 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 ≈ $349.27. Options: 66 managers hold calls ($5.5bn notional), 65 hold puts ($6.4bn).
