* 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 ($11.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 83.7m as of 2024-02-01, 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 ≈ $118.86. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($7.7m notional), 6 hold puts ($3.1m).
