We consider families of equivalent probability measures Q with a property related to concepts known in the literature under different names such as rectangularity or multiplicative stability. For the problems considered in this paper such a property yields dynamical consistency. We prove under a weak-compactness assumption with general filtrations and continuous processes that all semimartingales have an additive decomposition as the sum of a predictable non-decreasing process and a universal

We also show that processes having a supermartingale property with respect to a superadditive nonlinear conditional expectation associated to the family Q are always semimartingales under weak-compactness. These results are relevant in stochastic optimization problems including optimal stopping under model ambiguity.
