Since the next volume(s) is going to take place in Atlas, it's pretty much impossible for SDC not to have a large role in it. And alongside the certain drama between the Schnee women and men and the (hopefully well handled) faunus rights problems, it's very likely that there will be a battle over controlling SDC itself. The only question is who will win?

Jacques Schnee: The current head'''. '''My personal theory is that Jacq will be the most likely killed (or maybe just arrested) by the end of the Atlas Arc. He's a classic old businessman, the one with control, power and money, but the world around him is changing and he is unable to change with it. He has nothing more to gain, but everything to lose. A perfect character to be supersede by a younger or more flexible person. Still, it's highly possible that Jaqc manages to keep his throne at the end of the Atlas Arc. But eventually, he will fall.

Whitley Schnee: As the current heir of SDC, Whitley is the most likely to gain the control over SDC after his father's fall. Sadly, he appears to be a person who will continue to follow Jacq's style and shady business practices. The only problem is that Whitley is still underage and therefore can't officially inherit the company (unless laws are different in Atlas) and he might have a guardian who will control the company until Whitley comes to the age.

Weiss Schnee: Weiss will the most likely continue the mission to stop Salem and therefore won't be able to lead SDC. She might become the "official" head of the company if she gains back the status she lost at the end of the V4, but she will give the control over to someone else until her return.

Winter Schnee: The oldest child who will the most likely stay in Atlas when the Arc ends. She is the most likely the one who Weiss will give the company when she has to leave and is also a possible guardian for Whitley.

Mama (Willow?) Schnee: We know very little about Mrs Schnee, and based on that information, she has never showed interest towards SDC. Still, her getting over her addiction and depression and taking over the control of her father's company could be a possible character arc for her. Fallen Queen rising back to her throne.... She is also a likely guardian for Whitley if he inherits the company.

Salem's group: Watts is in Atlas and it's possible that he could be able to use his charisma and other means to gain control over SDC. I could also see him to manipulate Whitley and ending up as his guardian. It's also possible that Salem has other allies inside Atlas that we will during the volume and they could be the ones taking over SDC.

Other party: Faunus rebels... Atlas Military... Your guess is just as good as mine.

But who you think is the most likely to have control over the SDC at the end of the Atlas Arc?
