Fortune picked Entropic communication as its "swing-for the fences bet on the latest gotta-have-it technology," but the company's performance for this past quarter was weak.
Still, analysts are convinced that Entropic is on track to profit. The company makes chipsets and microprocessors, which means its success depends on the performance of larger cable companies. That bodes well for the future of Entropic. DirectTV posted strong fourth quarter service and subscriber growth in February -- Entropic chips power a large portion of DirectTV devices.
