Based on the real option valuation theory,this study examines the impact of major government-background customers on the earnings dynamics,value creation process,and value presentation of supplier companies by using Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2020 as the research sample.This study shows that major government-background customers can effectively enhance the earnings persistence and profit-seeking ability of capital,thereby increasing the value of growth options.Furthermore,this positive effect of major government-background customers is more pronounced in non-state-owned and small enterprises,and during periods of high economic policy uncertainty.This study enriches the literature on supply chain and company valuation.And the research conclusions can provide theoretical guidance and empirical reference for policy-making.
