Financial corporation in Los Angeles
* 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. Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 30.6m as of 2025-09-16, 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 ≈ $2.96. Options: 14 managers hold calls ($5.2m notional), 11 hold puts ($7.8m).
