Working with indexed associations explains the usage of the indexBy keyword.
For it to work, the insertion method needs to look as follows:

public function addStock(Stock $stock)
{
    $this->stocks[$stock->getSymbol()] = $stock;
}

Now when executing php bin/console doctrine:generate:entities, the generated code is the same, as if no indexBy clause was used:

public function addStock(Stock $stock)
{
    $this->stocks[] = $stock;
}

Furthermore the getStock method is not generated at all.

I am using the current doctrine/orm v2.5.6

Meh, this is a detail that is up to your domain, not to the ORM... It also assumes that you are re-generating all entities, and that the getter exists on the associated entity.
