Tomorrow's Top CNBC Stories Tonight

An after-hours jump for Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters is jumping in the extended session after a big earnings beat. Revenue was roughly in line with analyst estimates. The stock is an outperformer in retail this year, up nearly 12% as of today's close. If the stock holds onto gains overnight, it could open within striking distance of a 52-week high.

VF Corp's move after results

Elsewhere in retail, VF Corp is slightly higher in extended trading. It topped earnings estimates alongside a slight revenue beat, but it saw a 7% decline in its Americas business. That stock hit its lowest level since 2010 in Monday's session.

Victoria's Secret slides

Victoria's Secret fell nearly 6% in the regular session after UBS reiterated a sell rating and cut its price target. The stock closed at its lowest level since going public in 2021. We'll get earnings reports from Kohl's and Abercrombie & Fitch Wednesday morning. Kohl's is an underperformer this year, down 24%. Abercrombie is flat year to date.

A weak forecast drags on Agilent shares

Agilent is in negative territory after hours. The lab tech company topped Q2 earnings and revenue estimates, but it's getting weighed down by a weak Q3 EPS and revenue outlook. As of the close, it was already off by 14% this year and roughly 20% off its recent high.

Casino stocks' rough day

Casino stocks underperformed today, with Wynn, MGM, and Las Vegas Sands down 5% or more. All three are down over 10% so far this month after notching 52-week highs at its start. They're all still firmly in positive territory year to date. Smaller rival Melco Resorts is negative in 2023 and off by 20% in May alone, which would be its worst month since April 2022.
