MILPITAS, Calif., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KLA Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) today announced that its board of directors approved a Ten‑for‑One forward stock split of the company’s outstanding shares of common stock—enhancing share accessibility and reinforcing the company’s long-term innovation and growth strategy. 

Each stockholder of record at close of trading on Thursday, June 4, 2026, will receive nine additional shares for each share held after the close of trading on Thursday, June 11, 2026. Shares will begin trading on a split adjusted basis at market open on Friday, June 12, 2026. KLA’s overall market capitalization and stockholder ownership percentages will not be affected by the stock split. 

“This stock split is intended to improve the accessibility and liquidity of KLA shares, while maintaining consistency with our long‑term capital allocation strategy,” said KLA Chief Financial Officer Bren Higgins. “We believe this action supports broader investor and employee access to our shares while remaining fully aligned with our long‑term financial objectives.”

Additionally, KLA’s board of directors approved a quarterly dividend payment of $2.30 per share, payable on June 2, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 18, 2026. This represents a 21% increase in the quarterly dividend which was announced on March 12, 2026.  The dividend to be declared in August 2026 is expected to be $0.23 per share, after giving effect to the stock split.

As a result of the stock split, proportionate adjustments will be made to, among others, the number of shares of KLA’s common stock underlying the company’s outstanding restricted stock unit and performance-based restricted stock unit awards, the number of shares issuable under the company’s equity incentive plans, and the beginning price per share for the current offering period under KLA’s employee stock purchase plan.

The Business of Medicine: Michael J. Napoli, Jr. Launches New Firm to Help Healthcare Professionals Navigate the Legal Side of Modern Medicine

In an industry focused on resolving problems after they arise, Michael J. Napoli Jr. believes the best legal outcome is the problem that never occurs. Michael Napoli Law is built on that philosophy.

HUNTINGTON, N.Y., July 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Attorney Michael J. Napoli, Jr., PC has announced the launch of Michael Napoli Law, a healthcare-focused legal practice dedicated to serving physicians, medical practices, nursing facilities, and healthcare organizations operating in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment.

“Healthcare is no longer just about patient care,” says Napoli. “It is also about compliance, contracts, regulatory oversight, operational risk, and the legal decisions that shape and sometimes threaten the modern practice of medicine.”

With twenty years of experience at the intersection of law and medicine, Napoli built his new practice around a simple conviction: the most effective legal counsel helps clients address challenges before they become distractions.

Napoli adds: “Medicine today requires far more than clinical expertise. Healthcare providers are expected to run complex businesses while continuing to deliver exceptional patient care. My goal is to help them navigate the legal side of healthcare so they can focus on what they do best.”

Healthcare providers dedicate their careers to patient care, but practicing medicine today requires far more than medical expertise alone. Michael Napoli Law helps them navigate the legal and business realities that surround the practice of medicine.

Services include medical-legal consulting, healthcare law, PC and PLLC formation, telehealth compliance, physician contract review, second-opinion counsel, practice policies and operational guidance, and select general matters affecting physicians and healthcare organizations of all kinds.

Clients range from individual physicians and private practices to nursing facilities, long-term care organizations, and allied healthcare professionals seeking experienced guidance on the legal and operational realities of modern healthcare.

“Most attorneys understand the law. Few understand medicine. Fewer still understand both,” explains Napoli. “That gap is exactly where this firm lives.”

ABOUT MICHAEL NAPOLI LAW

Michael Napoli Law is a New York-based legal practice serving physicians, medical practices, nursing facilities, long-term care providers, and healthcare organizations with counsel in healthcare law, compliance, medical-legal consulting, practice operations, and related legal matters.

Best AI Content Creation Tools (2026): CapCut Recognized for AI-Powered Video and Image Creation by Software Experts

Published

1 hour ago

on

July 4, 2026

By

NEW YORK, July 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Software Experts has recognized CapCut in its latest review of the best AI content creation tools, citing the platform’s ability to support video, image, audio, and social media production from a single editing workspace. The recognition comes as creators, educators, small businesses, and marketing teams look for simpler ways to produce polished content across short-form video, branded graphics, product clips, tutorials, captions, voiceovers, and music-backed campaigns.

Best AI Content Generation Tools

Seedance 2.0 – CapCut’s AI video system that can be useful for concept videos, product visuals, social media clips, animated scenes, campaign tests, and visual storyboards.Seedream – CapCut’s AI image generation tool for turning text prompts into realistic visuals, design assets, product images, posters, covers, thumbnails, and social graphics.Seedmusic 1.0 – CapCut’s AI audio generator that adds support for original audio ideas, background tracks, and sound concepts.

CapCut, developed by ByteDance, has become a widely used platform for users who need fast content production without a complex editing setup. The Software Experts review highlights CapCut’s AI-assisted workflow, including Seedance for video generation, Seedream for image creation, SeedMusic for audio ideas, script-to-video, text-to-speech, auto captions, background removal, image-to-video, and export controls for multiple social and digital formats.

Why did Software Experts recognize CapCut?

Software Experts recognized CapCut because it helps users produce video, image, and audio assets without relying on several separate platforms. A creator can begin with a prompt, script, still image, or template, then refine the project with captions, music, transitions, filters, overlays, trimming, and format controls.

For users asking why CapCut is considered the best AI content creation tool in the review, the answer is its range. CapCut supports the full content process, from early idea development to final export. This makes it useful for social media managers, small business owners, educators, creators, and teams that need steady content output across multiple formats.

What is Seedance, and how does it support AI video creation?

Seedance is ByteDance’s AI video generation model used within CapCut’s broader AI video system. It supports video generation from text and image inputs, allowing users to describe a subject, scene, movement, tone, or visual direction and turn that input into a short video clip.

This feature can help with product visuals, social media posts, concept videos, educational scenes, and campaign drafts. A still product image or visual concept can also guide the video output, which is useful when a static asset needs motion.

After a Seedance clip is generated, CapCut allows users to continue editing inside the same platform. Users can add subtitles, text overlays, narration, music, transitions, filters, and export settings. This makes Seedance useful as a starting point for videos that still need human review and final editing.

How does Seedream help with AI image creation?

Seedream is CapCut’s AI image generation tool. It helps users turn text prompts into visuals such as thumbnails, posters, product graphics, social media images, covers, and campaign assets.

The image process is simple. Users enter a prompt, review the generated image, make edits, and export the final file. CapCut also includes tools for cropping, background removal, filters, brightness, contrast, saturation, and other visual adjustments.

Seedream also works with CapCut’s video features. A generated image can be added to a video project or turned into a moving clip through image-to-video tools. This helps users create product showcases, event recaps, visual explainers, and social posts from a single visual idea.

How does SeedMusic support audio creation?

SeedMusic supports text-to-music creation. Users can describe mood, genre, tempo, instruments, rhythm, or scene type to generate music ideas for videos, presentations, podcasts, product clips, and social media campaigns.

This feature gives creators another way to match sound with visual content. A product demo may need soft background music, while a travel clip may need a brighter track. SeedMusic helps users test audio ideas early in the editing process.

CapCut also includes text-to-speech, voiceover tools, sound effects, and audio controls. These features help users add narration, adjust sound, and prepare finished videos for multiple platforms.

What other CapCut features help users create content faster?

CapCut includes editing tools such as trimming, splitting, merging, transitions, filters, text effects, overlays, slow motion, keyframe animation, chroma key, stabilization, motion tracking, and background removal.

Auto captions are useful for short-form video because many viewers watch clips without sound. Text-to-speech can add narration without a separate recording session. Format controls also allow users to adjust aspect ratio, resolution, frame rate, and export settings for vertical videos, square posts, widescreen clips, and presentation-style content.

Software Experts’ recognition points to CapCut as a strong option for users searching for AI video editing software, AI image creation tools, AI music generation, and social media content creation software in one platform.

The full review can be read at the Software Experts website.
