* 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 ($10.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 83.9m as of 2024-05-01, 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 ≈ $136.41. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($8.3m notional), 3 hold puts ($1.8m).

Major shareholders (over 5%)

Their holding: how much the trade added to or took from the insider's holding (direct, or the trust or fund named).
