This was the 72nd individual World Cup podium spot for Stoch in his career.
Slovenia's Anže Lanišek placed third in Saturday's competition at Engelberg, or the Hill of Angels.
The second-highest placed Pole, Piotr Żyła, finished fifth.
Two other Poles, Andrzej Stękała and Dawid Kubacki, also made the top 10, finishing seventh and ninth respectively.
Last weekend, Team Poland, comprised of Stoch, Żyła, Stękała and Kubacki, took the bronze at the Ski Flying World Championships in Planica, Slovenia.
Last month, Poland took third place in the World Cup season-opening team competition in their home country, finishing behind winners Germany and runners-up Austria.
The 2020/2021 ski-jumping World Cup circuit features a total of 35 competitions, including six team events, in various countries.
The schedule includes the prestigious Four Hills Tournament in Germany and Austria and the Raw Air event in Norway.
Czech Michal Doležal last year took over as the head coach of the Polish men’s ski-jumping team to replace Austrian Stefan Horngacher.
