Eight top 100 stocks to buy in October

Our high conviction picks are companies we think offer the highest risk-adjusted returns over a 12 month timeframe, supported by a higher-than-average level of confidence. They are typically our preferred sector exposures. One of these picks is Ramsay Healthcare (ASX:RHC) which is Australia's largest private hospital operator and more recently has expanded its operations into the UK, France and parts of Asia (around 25% of revenue is now generated overseas). Three reasons to buy - 1. RHC benefits from an aging population using more medical services. 2. RHC consistently delivers above market earnings and dividends growth (last 17 years averaging 16.8% and 16.6% pa, respectively), and for the next three years is forecast to grow at c13% pa. 3. RHC are expected to benefit from further public hospital outsourcing opportunities. We retain our Add recommendation and share price target of A$73.11.
