cowhouse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stock structure' is the definition.
'cowhouse' can be an answer for 'structure' (cowhouse is a kind of structure). I'm unsure of the 'stock' bit.

'company which people exploit' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'which people' becomes 'who' (I've seen this before).
'exploit' becomes 'use' (use can mean to exploit).
'co'+'who'+'use'='COWHOUSE'

'of' is the link.
