Shares of Shoe Carnival Inc. SCVL -7.42%  fell 7.4%. The company reported a profit of 14 cents a share for its second quarter ended July 28, flat with the year-earlier period but topping management’s earnings forecast, as sales rose 9% to $182.2 million and as comparable-store sales increased 3%. The retailer also issued a forecast for its seasonally strong third quarter, pegging earnings in a range of 55 cents to 60 cents a share, which would be up from 52 cents a share a year ago.
