Morphology
The meaning 'a share that trades at a very low price' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'penny' (a very small unit of money / very cheap) plus 'stock' (a share). Although finer market thresholds (e.g. under $1) are technical, a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the basic idea of a very cheap share.
Etymology
Penny stock comes from the picture of a penny, a very small coin, and a stock that sold for almost nothing, so the name shows how cheap the share looked. So, the phrase now means a share in a small company that trades at a 'very low price' and is often 'risky'.
