What is the last day to buy to receive a dividend?

Are all December 2026 ex-dividend dates announced yet?

Not necessarily. Companies announce dividends at different times, often a few weeks ahead, so more December 2026 dates can be added as they are declared. Dates can also change, so check the company's announcement before you trade.

Do I need to hold the shares until the payment date?

No. If you own the shares before the ex-dividend date, you receive the dividend on the payment date even if you sell them on the ex-date or later.
