Conversion rate is the proportion of items, people or contracts that take a desired action out of the total possible — for example the share of website visitors who make a purchase, or the number of convertible bonds that are exchanged for shares. Investors care because it measures how effectively a business or financial instrument turns opportunity into real outcomes, like sales or share issuance, which directly affects revenue, cash flow and ownership dilution.
