If you dont want to use for each loop then you can follow this.

for(int i = 0; i < Stocks.size(); i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < NameofFileinDir.size(); j++) {
        if (Stocks[i].equals(NameofFileinDir[j])) > 0) {
            System.out.println("Stock:" + Stocks[i]);}
        else{
            System.out.println("Stock not in files:" + Stocks[i]);
        }
    }
}

In the abovecode, instead of having Stocks[i], have this :

for(int i = 0; i < Stocks.size(); i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < NameofFileinDir.size(); j++) {
        if (Stocks.get(i).equals(NameofFileinDir.get(j))) > 0) {
              System.out.println("Stock:" + Stocks[i]);}
        else{
              System.out.println("Stock not in files:" + Stocks.get(i));
        }
    }
}
