* 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 ($50.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 56.2m as of 2025-08-18, 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 ≈ $226.91. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($21.3m notional), 5 hold puts ($4.0m).
