FireEye fell more than 6 percent after the company gave weak guidance and said CEO David DeWalt would step down. The cybersecurity company said it now sees full-year revenues between $780 million and $810 million. FireEye had previously stated that it saw 2016 revenue of $815 million to $845 million.

The company said it faced headwinds from reduced spending for its security services and loss of market share to the likes of Palo Alto Networks and Proofpoint.
