Magellan Health

Industries Health Care Equipment and Services

Rating Overview

Risk Rating: Medium

Magellan Health is Medium Risk.

Magellan Health often yields to political activism in shaping corporate governance, potentially alienating consumers, dividing employees, and harming shareholders. The company elevates merit, excellence, and integrity ahead of race and identity-based policies. Magellan Health occasionally embraces corporate initiatives that redirect its central focus from business goals to partisan policies and divisive issues at times. This approach fails to safeguard free exercise, free speech, and free enterprise.
