Undervalued Regional Bank Stocks With Strong Dividends

I found this screen of cheap, small regional bank stocks, which I think warrants a closer look.  Due to these banks’ small size, their stocks are very illiquid (average trading volumes for some of these companies is fewer than 1,000 shares per day) and they are overlooked by Wall Street . The criteria given for this screen are:

EPS growth past year > 6% Dividend yield > 3% Payout ratio < 50% 5-year dividend growth > 0% Price/Tangible Book Value < 2X Deposits/Liabilities > 85%

The screen returns the following 11 stocks:
