Why do profits need to go up every quarter?

What would happen if a companies profits just stayed the same over a period of quarters? I obviously don’t understand it at all but isn’t it just unsustainable to expect growth indefinitely?

Why do you want a wage increase every year? Because of greed, because of inflation and because over time your skills are developing to be more useful, so you have every reason to expect more money.

It’s not so different for companies. Also, many companies at any given time are not doing so well at all, so improving results is required to get back to sustainable operation and to avoid bankruptcy.
