NORGES BANK, BAUPOST GROUP LLC/MA, VIKING GLOBAL INVESTORS LP hold a position with no prior filing to compare against, so their change is unknown rather than zero — and they are left out of the totals above.

From 13F filings, which cover institutions managing over $100m and are filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — so this is a considered position, not a live one, and it is not the whole shareholder register.
