Summer may be a typically weak season for stocks, but noted strategist Kate Moore told CNBC she doesn't see big trouble ahead.
"I don't expect the market to be on a tear throughout the summer but I also don't see a significant sell-off. I just don't feel the market sentiment is there at this point," the chief equity strategist at BlackRock said in an interview with "Power Lunch" on Thursday.
"Actually, the bears have been really disappointed by the magnitude and the duration of recent pullbacks," she added.
U.S. stocks were higher Thursday, the first day of trading in June. The month is usually flattish, with average returns for the around 0.7 percent. It is the fourth worst in terms of S&P performance.
It also marks the start of what is a historically weak season for equities.
Moore sees a "sustainable and stronger economic picture ahead." She believes investors need to focus on guidance from companies about their future expectations, as well as the tone coming from early announcements on second-quarter earnings.
"I don't think you have to fight the momentum at this point."
However, that doesn't mean investors should put all their chips just in the high-flyers, she noted.
"There are a lot of stocks that are being under recognized by the market for their earnings potential that we should really be taking a look at. Stuff more that would fall into the value camp across all sectors."
Meanwhile, noted bear Marc Faber, known as "Dr. Doom," recently told CNBC he believes there is a "bubble in everything."
The editor and publisher of The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report said Wednesday on "Fast Money Halftime Report" that even if the S&P 500 dropped 20 percent, it still wouldn't make him bullish on the U.S. stock market.
