One of the main drivers of stock price performance is the underlying earnings per share (EPS) growth for any business's future. With this in mind, one of the simplest ways investors can land on a good upside opportunity is to find companies that trade well below their relative highs but can still fill those price gaps based on where future EPS growth may be headed.

Advance Auto Parts' Q2 earnings disappointed. The company delivered weak same-store sales growth and lowered full-year guidance. Despite recent store closures and optimization, the company continues to lose market share to peers like O'Reilly. The company is paying more for debt going forward, serving as another headwind to profitability.
