NEW YORK, March 4 (Reuters) - Merrill Lynch said Monday it raised its mid-term investment rating on King Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NYSE:KG - news) to ``strong buy'' from ``buy.''

Analyst Gregory Gilbert, in a research note, said the shares offer good value at a reasonable price.

``We believe that the current valuation reflects King's lack of internal research and development capabilities but does not reflect the visible and strong top and bottom line growth we expect to see over the next year or two,'' Gilbert wrote.

He cited the company's Altac drug, an ACE inhibitor, which will be the subject of an upcoming direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, and Levoxyl, a drug used to treat hypothyroidism.

King Pharmaceutical shares rose 70 cents to $30 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
