I'd nitpick and say a corporations best self-interest is achieving what it's charter states as its purpose. Or it should be. If that's purely making money, fine. Though often pursuing financial gains first and foremost in the long term loses on actual value produced and therefore ultimately lowers it's lifelong monetary value too. E.g. SpaceX looks to be a very valuable company, but it's primary goal is to make it to the moon.
