* 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 ($185.3m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 166.9m as of 2026-05-01, 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 ≈ $184.67. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($24.6m notional), 7 hold puts ($3.0m).
