Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $173.68. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($6.5m notional), 6 hold puts ($4.8m).

Each holder's latest filing, from 19 Dec 2024 on; percentages are of the share class, as the holder worked them out.

Their holding: how much the trade added to or took from the insider's holding (direct, or the trust or fund named). The same trade is sometimes reported by more than one insider, such as a fund and the director who represents it; totals count it once. A value is left blank where the reported price is far from the market price (usually a typo).
