** Baader Europe raises Huber + Suhner HUBN.S to "Add" from "Sell", expecting the electrical and optical components supplier's "breakthrough" switching technology to help boost profits from data centres
** The broker says the new technology is a key input for data centre infrastructure that could expand the company's size twofold over the next five years
** Huber + Suhner's optical circuit switches provide lower latency and power consumption, Baader says
** The Swiss company, a manufacturer of components and systems for electrical and optical connectivity, is therefore set to profit from the "explosive" data centre demand, it adds
** Shares of Hubert + Suhner are up 3%, outperforming the Swiss mid-cap index .SMIM
