How does predatory pricing hurt competition?

Predatory Pricing hurts the competition because for smaller business places because a company like Walmart would buy something e.g. tires and they would buy the tires for 50 bucks and sell them for 40 so they're losing money but then for lets say a tire store who sells them for 60-65 dollars, nobody's going to go to their store and they're going to go out of business, afterwards Walmart raises their prices to 70 or more as they started a monopoly in that area.Predatory pricing hurts competition by forcing its competitors to drop out of the market, and prevents new competitors from going into the market. But the predator loses money each time it drives an endless series of rivals out of business.
