* 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 ($507.3k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 86.3m as of 2024-01-31, 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 ≈ $48.59. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($1.2m notional), 2 hold puts ($48.6k).
