Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS)Exact Sciences is looking great today, up 35.76% to $24.60. The molecular diagnostics company saw its shares pop after Medicare officials recommended a $502 reimbursement for Exact Sciences colon cancer screening test. Colonguard is a non-invasive colon cancer screening test and was expected to see a reimbursement of $100-$500, so the news of $502 is above expectations. Shares of Exact Sciences climbed nearly $6.50 today and reached a new 52-week high of $26.79.
Procera Networks Inc. (PKT)
Procera Networks is seeing red today, down 33.33% to $5.70. The intelligent policy enforcement company saw its shares crash after releasing preliminary earnings.

Both numbers missed analysts' estimates $22.64 million and $85.16 million respectively. Shares of Procera fell to a new 52-week low of $5.61 intraday.
