* 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 ($12.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 58.2m 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 ≈ $68.09. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($23.7m notional), 11 hold puts ($15.9m).
