On the conference call, Hood said the company expects $10.55 billion to $10.75 billion in productivity and business processes in the fourth quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet expect $10.67 billion. Intelligent cloud is forecast to bring in $10.85 billion to $11.05 billion, Hood said. Analysts expect $10.94 billion.
