The bypass capacitor keeps AC out of so gain stays high while DC stabilisation is retained.
The emitter resistor is needed for DC bias stability, but if AC also flowed through it, the resulting negative feedback would sharply reduce the voltage gain. A bypass capacitor connected across offers very low reactance to AC, so the AC emitter current is shunted through the capacitor instead of . Thus provides DC stabilisation while the capacitor prevents any loss of AC gain. …
