* 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 ($2.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 14.3m as of 2023-12-31, 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 ≈ $67.89. Options: 8 managers hold calls ($12.5m notional), 8 hold puts ($9.1m).
