* 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 ($378.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 50.7m as of 2025-05-08, 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 ≈ $1967.17. Options: 46 managers hold calls ($1.9bn notional), 45 hold puts ($2.4bn).
