American human resources management software company
* 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 ($549.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 404.4m as of 2025-10-28, 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 ≈ $293.40. Options: 31 managers hold calls ($504.0m notional), 39 hold puts ($415.1m).
