taking back the stock
Although this expression sounds slightly informal, I think it is what one would naturally say in this sort of context if writing in EN.

As both NJW and W/A have suggested, 'buy back' would probably be what we might naturally write in EN — though need to be careful not to confuse the issue with a 'buy-back'. I just felt the source text writer had maybe specifically avoid using any of the words involving 'buy', for some (or no) reason best known to themselves, so I opted in favour of doing the same — but probably unnecessarily. I suppose it might be argued they are not actually 'buying', since in fact it seems they are simply going to credit the amounts against what X already owes them; though on re-reading, I wonder if this is even true, since it talks about releasing liquidities for X...

You often see in retail stores things like « Les articles soldés sont ni repris, ni échangé » — in this context, one would quite clearly say 'take back' in EN ("We do not take back or exchange sale items")
Note to Daryo:
If assumptions are being made, it is only because there is not enough context to work from; however, I think these are largely assumptions based on intelligent extrapolation.

It does all depend, of course, on whether or not it was Y that originally supplied this stock; I had been assuming it was, but of course it need not be, in which case, 'racheter' would simply be 'to buy' (sometimes we might use' to buy up', but I'm not sure how wel that would fit in here).

: this answer is incorrect but I agree about disagrees posted by other answerers. In the days where there was such a thing as Kudoz etiquette (not just rules), this was not acceptable and most people didn't do it. Either one answered or one commented.

: this very well COULD BE the right answer, but if we get rid of automatic assumptions in analysing the ST, many other equally plausible scenarios appear. People disagree for all sorts of right or wrong reasons - y a pas de quoi en faire une maladie

: I agree with W/A and mchd; if they are 'recovering' it, it is relatively unlikely they would actually be paying for it, as here.

: "recovery" suggests the stock was lost, misappropriated etc. but this is simply about buying back unsold stock (presumably from a retailer)

buying the stock
if you look at "Y a proposé à X de lui racheter son stock" there's nothing to make it sure that Y was the initial seller of the stock.
All sorts of permutations are possible regarding who was the original seller of this stock, the original price of these goods, who the money is owed to by X (to Y or some third party?)
What looks sure is X is the owner of the stock (and not just the holder) and that money (payment in money and not barter) is involved (=>(1)permettre a X d'avoir des liquidites suffisantes (2) racheter son stock); especially if prices are quoted - that very much looks like "buying".
Also, reprendre doesn't necessarily imply that the one doing the "reprise" was the initial owner:

1 verbe transitif
a « récupérer »
...
b « se resservir de » : [+ plat] ▶ to have ou take (some) more
...
c « retrouver » : [+ espoir, droits, forces] ▶ to regain, ▶ to recover
...
d /Commerce/
[+ marchandises] ▶ to take back
[contre un nouvel achat] ▶ to take in part exchange
[+ fonds de commerce, usine] ▶ to take over
■ les articles en solde ne sont ni repris ni échangés : sale goods cannot be returned or exchanged

■ j'ai acheté une voiture neuve et ils ont repris la vieille : I bought a new car and traded in the old one ou and they took the old one in part exchange
■ il a repris l'affaire de son père : he has taken on ou over his father's business ..."
