But its momentum faded as high inflation stunted discretionary spending, so much so that management nixed its medium-term financial targets. Many investors interpreted that as a sell signal. PayPal stock had already started falling in response to economic uncertainty, but the sell-off accelerated when the company revised its outlook.

The ability to contribute money to an HSA hinges on the type of health insurance plan you have. To qualify for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a high-deductible health insurance plan. In 2024, that means having a minimum deductible of $1,600 for self-only coverage, or $3,200 for coverage at the family level. If you're able to fund an HSA in 2024, that's an option you'll want to take advantage of.
