Shares of CACI (CACI)  fell 8.8% to $68 on moderate volume after the company trimmed its full-year earnings outlook to a range of $5.12 to $5.51 a share and its revenue outlook to a range of $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet are expecting $5.78 a share on revenue of $3.71 billion.

"We are revising our guidance as a result of the impact of the continued uncertainty our customers are experiencing despite the passage of the omnibus appropriations bill in January," CACI said in a statement. "We continue to experience delays in contract awards for new business to CACI, lower run-rates on professional services contracts, and reductions in Afghanistan-related material purchases."

The firm reports fiscal third-quarter results on April 30.

Venaxis Inc. (APPY)  shares fell 12% to $2.38 on light volume after the medical diagnostics company said it planned to launch an secondary offering of an unspecified number of shares.

Shares of iRobot Corp. (IRBT)  rose 2.4% to $43.84 on light volume after the maker of home and defense robots said it planned to buy back up to $50 million in shares before May 2015.
