Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'growth' (increase/development) modifying 'stock' (a share): it denotes a share characterized by expected growth. Noun+noun compounding with this modifier relation is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will generally understand the basic meaning (though finer financial nuances require domain knowledge).
Etymology
Growth stock uses a simple image: growth means the company is expected to 'grow' fast and stock is a company's 'share', so a growth stock is a share people buy hoping the company and its value will grow faster than others.
