* 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 ($56.8m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 534.2m as of 2025-11-05, 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 ≈ $48.02. Options: 37 managers hold calls ($2.3bn notional), 35 hold puts ($1.6bn).

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

A value is left blank where the reported price is far from the market price (usually a typo).
