* 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 ($11.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 85.2m as of 2023-05-01, 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 ≈ $121.30. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($8.1m notional), 6 hold puts ($2.8m).
