Notes on these figures
- The share price has fallen 34% since Sep 9, 2026, when the 10-Q these figures come from was filed ($66.21 then, $43.70 on Nov 13, 2026). The figures date from before that move.10-Q
- Profit over the last twelve months is well above what the business itself earned, because it includes large gains outside the business, such as on investments or from selling a business. The P/E is lower than the business alone would give.

What the holders on a 13D state as their purpose
From Item 4 of the filing, in the holder's own words. It is the intention the holder states, not something that happened.
Fund 1 Investments, LLC12.9%From the filing of Nov 9, 2026
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following: The sales of Shares reported herein were undertaken as part of a portfolio rebalancing. The Reporting Person continues to express confidence in the Issuer's leadership and strategic direction, and its long-term value.
From the filing of Nov 9, 2026
Fell to 5% or less (4)
Holders whose latest filing says they hold 5% or less. After it they need not file again, so what they hold today is not known.
From the Schedule 13D and 13G filed with the SEC since Dec 18, 2024, when they became structured data. A holder who has filed nothing since then is not shown here. A 13D is updated within two business days of any material change, a 13G up to 45 days after the quarter of the change, so the shares are those of the filing. The large managers also appear in the 13Fs.

This is not the number of shares sold short today: it measures short sales within each day's trading, and only trades made off the exchanges. Much of it is market makers, who sell shares they do not have to fill buyers' orders and cover soon after, so for a heavily traded stock the share is often around half.
