Will a stock analyst internship help with future HF recruiting?

Hey everyone, I'm an upcoming freshman planning to matriculate at a target. Interested ideally in getting a HF job out of undergrad. I have an offer for an internship as a "Stock and Industry Analyst" at a small financial services firm. How helpful would this be for HF recruiting/as a stepping stone to internships at bigger firms in the next summers? I don't want to put BS filler on my resume, is this one worth it?

Thanks.
