Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $70.29. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($516.0k notional), 7 hold puts ($203.6m).

Major shareholders (over 5%)
Anyone who owns more than 5% of a class of the company's shares has to say so: on Schedule 13D if they may try to influence or control the company, on 13G if they're a passive investor, and update it as the stake changes. Each holder's latest filing, from 19 Dec 2024 on; percentages are of the share class, as the holder worked them out.
No one currently above 5% in the filings since 19 Dec 2024.
Fell to 5% or below in the last year: FIL Ltd (1.2%, 2026-08-06)
