* 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 ($72.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 54.3m as of 2026-02-10, 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 ≈ $158.19. Options: 18 managers hold calls ($73.7m notional), 16 hold puts ($75.0m).
