* 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 ($11.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 62.4m as of 2025-11-03, 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 ≈ $34.60. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($8.7m notional), 2 hold puts ($124.6k).
