the word "streak"
“It’s certainly nice to see a rebound after the disastrous first quarter that we had," he said. "But as I like to say - one in a row is not a streak.”
Is "one in a row is not a streak" a idiom or a adage? What does that mean? And what does "streak" mean in this sentence?

"a winning / losing streak" is a series of matches or games in which one team consistently wins or loses.
e.g. We're on a winning streak - we've won our last 5 matchers in a row.
"In a row" means "consecutively", one after another.

In this usage, "streak" means a recurring sequence of like events. Several profitable quarters in a row for a company might be called a streak. One is not a streak. It is not an idiom, just an expression of fact.

"streak" a continuous period of specified success or luck.
e.g. "My football team is on a winning streak" (it means they have won multiple games in a row)
Since a streak has to be more than 'one' win in a row, they use "one in a row is not a streak".
