September 13, 2012 9:26 AM EDT
Shares of Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN), Saks (NYSE: SKS), Macy's (NYSE: M), and other retailers are on watch Thursday morning, as peer Neiman Marcus dishes-out fourth-quarter 2012 results.

Numbers were good. Revs improved 9.3 percent to $1.01 billion, from $919.7 million last year. Comps rose 7.9%.

Operating margin widened from 1.9 percent up to 2.5 percent.

Neiman slashed its quarterly loss from $61.38 million down to $11.06 million. EBITDA -- a non-GAAP measure -- rose $4.4 million to $71.9 million.

News from the high-end retailer comes following a warning issued by Burberry plc (OTCBB: BURBY) earlier in the week. CEO Angela Ahrendts noted that the sales slump was largely related to external pressures.

Retailers are mixed in early trading.
