Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'warrant' (a security giving the right to purchase) that specifically applies to 'stock' (shares). Although financial vocabulary is specialized, the noun+noun composition clearly signals a right related to shares, so a learner who knows both constituent meanings can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun stock warrant comes from old paper certificates. A warrant was a written 'permission' or 'ticket' that let someone buy stock at a set price before a certain date, so a stock warrant today is a certificate that gives you that 'right to buy'.
