Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.

Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 29, 2026, 11:41 AM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Salesforce is bringing OpenAI’s frontier models into federal government operations, announcing on September 16, 2026, that it will integrate those models directly into its Missionforce platform. The rollout runs through Salesforce Government Cloud and Amazon Bedrock, giving authorized government personnel secure access to advanced AI capabilities without the usual compromise between power and compliance.

For context, Missionforce turned one year old this September, having launched in September 2025.

What the integration actually does

The centerpiece of the announcement is the Missionforce Policy Engine, which takes static policy documents and converts them into structured, executable rules subject to human review before anything gets acted on.

Beyond the policy engine, the integration enables AI agents to reason across mission-specific data and execute multistep workflows autonomously.

Authorized personnel will also be able to access Missionforce applications directly through ChatGPT, querying and interacting with mission-critical apps through a conversational interface rather than navigating a separate government portal.

Salesforce emphasizes that agencies retain full control over model selection, data governance, and deployment configuration. The platform is built to accommodate air-gapped environments, meaning systems physically isolated from the public internet, which is a hard requirement for certain classified and defense-adjacent use cases.

The partnerships backing the push

Salesforce also announced a concurrent partnership with NVIDIA, aimed at bringing accelerated computing into the same government AI stack to speed up computationally heavy tasks that frontier model inference requires.

On OpenAI’s side, the company has separately expanded its partnership agreements with the U.S. government through the General Services Administration, providing a procurement pathway that federal agencies can use for the OpenAI-Salesforce integration.

Why this moment matters for government AI

Salesforce’s public sector business has been on a strong growth trajectory. The company previously secured a $5.6 billion U.S. Army IDIQ contract, an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity vehicle that allows the Army to place task orders against a pre-negotiated ceiling over time.

Missionforce previously secured FedRAMP High authorization for its Agentforce and related products. The platform has seen adoption by government agencies and military branches for tasks including benefits processing, human resources support, procurement, and citizen services.
