* 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 ($3.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 64.0m as of 2024-07-18, 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 ≈ $101.16. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($31.9m notional), 10 hold puts ($42.4m).

Major shareholders (over 5%)
