* 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 ($18.3m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 74.8m as of 2025-02-26, 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 ≈ $34.43. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($364.6k notional), 3 hold puts ($451.2k).
