Brean Murray Carret & Co. reiterates a 'Sell' on Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN)/

Brean analyst said, "We are tweaking down our already below Street projections for FY13 to $1.35 (from $1.44) and FY14 to $1.70 (from $1.71)...Given what has been a tough, discount driven season for the teen retail space, with guidance for 3Q muted by denim price wars and inventory overhangs, we are somewhat baffled why investors believe Urban Outfitters will be unscathed; frankly, they haven’t, as we have seen price increases cool in 2Q and 3Q start with deeper discounts and price cuts in response to what has already become an aggressive denim discount season."
