Urban Outfitters (URBN)  is projected to report first-quarter earnings of 27 cents a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet.

Campbell Soup (CPB)  is forecast to post third-quarter earnings of 59 cents a share. Analysts at Deutsche Bank on Thursday lowered the stock's price target to $41 from $42 due to a tough market environment and weakness in certain categories.
