This an abhorrent chain of logic. By this rationale everything should be permissible if it’s profitable and legal in the country it’s done in. Ethics be damned.

Slavery?[1] Fine. Assisting with genocide?[2] Ok. Human trafficking. Sure, as long as we’re making money. Now consider the likes of Facebook or Google. If Iran wanted to purge an ethnic minority from their country and offered a government contract to Facebook to help identify said minority, how is it in the interests of Facebook stockholders to prevent genocide in countries ruled by dictatorial regimes?

Finally, if what you say is correct - that in the current system the wealth of the shareholders is what matters most - I think the broader question becomes: “Why should western democracies continue to permit Laisser-faire capitalism if it refuses to impose any ethical or moral boundaries on itself?”
