By Alexandra ScaggsGetty Images

Now that Dell Inc. looks�set to go private, Netflix Inc. is next in line for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index.

The index is made up of the largest 100 non-financial companies listed on the tech-heavy exchange. Nasdaq has an index of the securities that are next-eligible for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100, called the Nasdaq-Q50 Index. Netflix, with a $9.7 billion market capitalization, is the biggest in that index, according to exchange data.

The Nasdaq-100 Index is the base for the widely watched PowerShares QQQ exchange-traded fund, which has $32 billion in assets.
