A general theory for the stability of collision-less drift-wave eigenmodes in sheared slab magnetic fields is developed using the S-matrix technique. The eigenmodes are described with the integral formulation which fully takes into account the non-local effects of finite ion gyro-orbits. The universal eigenmode is then shown to be absolutely stable for arbitrary radial wavelengths.
