* 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 ($95.4m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 50.3m as of 2022-11-03, 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 ≈ $858.56. Options: 45 managers hold calls ($2.0bn notional), 33 hold puts ($2.0bn).
