* 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 ($31.3m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 85.2m as of 2025-01-31, 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 ≈ $101.21. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($3.1m notional), 10 hold puts ($8.7m).
