Onex Corp. shares jumped to a record after the Canadian investment firm shed its only sell-side neutral rating, with TD Cowen upgrading the stock to buy amid blockbuster credit fundraising this year.

The Toronto-based firm has raised $5.6 billion this year for structured credit, Chief Executive Officer Bobby Le Blanc told analysts on Friday. TD Cowen analyst Graham Ryding said it’s “well ahead” of expectations for the year.
