* 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 ($4.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 91.1m as of 2023-06-30, 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 ≈ $40.88. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($184.1k notional), 2 hold puts ($24.5k).
