* 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 ($358.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 635.5m as of 2026-07-31, 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 ≈ $84.58. Options: 35 managers hold calls ($328.0m notional), 37 hold puts ($417.6m).

Their holding: how much the trade added to or took from the insider's holding (direct, or the trust or fund named).
