Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'stockholder' (a person holding shares) with 'meeting' (a planned convening): it denotes a meeting of the company's shareholders. This straightforward noun–noun composition is a common, literal pattern in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun stockholders meeting comes from the simple picture of the company's stockholders, people who own shares, coming together in a meeting to hear reports from managers and to vote. So the phrase means 'a meeting where owners hear reports and make decisions about the company'.
