* 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 ($7.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 84.8m as of 2023-01-31, 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 ≈ $70.13. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($725.2k notional), 4 hold puts ($704.2k).
