* 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 ($10.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 234.5m as of 2025-07-31, 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 ≈ $151.25. Options: 32 managers hold calls ($674.5m notional), 40 hold puts ($482.4m).
