Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'stock' (shares) combined with 'issue' (the act or instance of issuing) yields 'the issuance or offering of shares', which a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer. This noun+noun composition is a common, transparent pattern across languages and in English (e.g., 'bond issue'), so the intended corporate-law sense is predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Stock issue comes from the image of a shop sending out its goods: stock is what a company owns and to issue is 'to send out'. So a stock issue is when a company sends out pieces of ownership called 'shares' to the public for sale.
