Single class. 4,535,560,985 includes 64,552,492 treasury shares; ex-treasury count is 4,471,008,493. Treasury nearly doubled in the quarter (35,798,823 at 31 Mar 2026) under a buyback of up to 160 million shares; ~30.1m shares were repurchased in Q1 alone, so treasury keeps rising. 5-for-1 split effective 1 Jul 2024.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (HTHIY), where one receipt represents 1 ordinary share; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
