American Eagle Outfitters 2nd-quarter earnings drop WARRENDALE, Pa., Aug 15 (Reuters) - Youth-oriented apparel chain American Eagle Outfitters Inc. <AEOS.O> on Thursday said second-quarter earnings fell by a third as sales at stores open for at least a year fell. American Eagle posted earnings of $10.1 million, or 14 cents per diluted share for the quarter ended Aug. 3. That compared with $15.3 million, or 21 cents per share, in the same period of the prior year. Last week, the company indicated that based on below-plan July sales, earnings would be at the low end of its previously reduced range of 14 cents to 17 cents. Total sales for the quarter rose 9.2 percent to $319.2 million. But sales at stores open for at least a year, or same-store sales, fell 5.5 percent.
