JPMorgan - The banking giant is looking to reduce expenses by $1 billion in 2013 and lowered headcount by nearly 4,000, CNBC learned.

Saks - The upscale department store chain posted earnings of 17 cents a share, ex-items, on revenue of $977 million, topping projections for 15 cents a share on sales of $963 million. The company added it expects to see 2013 same-store sales to grow between 3 percent and 5 percent.

Autozone - The auto parts retailer posted earnings of $4.78 a share, edging past expectations by 2 cents, but revenue was slightly short of estimates. The company reported a 1.8 percent decline in same-store sales, hurt by lingering effects of a relatively mild winter in 2011 that led to reduced demand.
