    The auto parts retailer is down over 60 percent in the past year. Revenues are up a scant 3 percent, but the company has struggled with earnings.

    Given the rising costs of financing a new car, however, there’s likely some demand for auto parts and repair work, and shares are starting to form a base for a potential trend higher next year.
    Action to take: Investors may like shares here. Advance Auto Parts trades at just 0.3 times its price to sales, an inexpensive metric for a retailer, and at 16 times forward earnings.

    For traders, shares look set for a long-term rebound after setting a price base for the past few months. The June 2024 $75 calls, last going for about $3.50, could see mid-to-high double-digit returns on a move higher.
