* 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 ($17.4m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 71.7m as of 2025-10-16, 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 ≈ $68.42. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($17.6m notional), 14 hold puts ($30.2m).
