* 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 ($216.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 16.3m as of 2026-06-05, 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 ≈ $3193.51. Options: 23 managers hold calls ($1.6bn notional), 23 hold puts ($1.3bn).
