They stand to get a fortune on the deal. "Stand" here means to gain. They are facing the possibility of gaining a fortune.
- English (US)
This is missing a word, it needs to be:
They stand to [make, lose, etc.] a fortune on the deal.
Here "stand to" means that they are in a position to [something], or that are in a situation where they can [something].
