Morphology
The meaning 'the price of a company's share' is directly and compositionally derived from 'stock' (a share) + 'price' (money required to buy an item). This noun‑noun composition is a common, cross‑linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Stock price comes from the idea of stock as a company's goods or supply and price as the cost of an item. Imagine a shop where each item on the shelf has a tag with a cost. A company's shares are like those items, so the stock price is 'the price of a share' today.
