Ever since the broad market indexes entered into bear market territory, I have been checking the dividend champions list for bargains. I came up with a list, using the follwoing screen criteria:

Commerce Bancshares, Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides various banking services to individuals and businesses. It operates in three segments: Consumer, Commercial, and Money Management. The company is not a dividend aristocrat but a dividend champion. The company has been increasing its dividends for the past 40 consecutive years.
