* 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 ($6.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 83.9m as of 2024-11-01, 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 ≈ $134.60. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($5.3m notional), 1 hold puts ($323.0k).
