Do Delaying Graduation Reflect Badly on a Candidate?

So I'm a STEM major and I'll be taking a semester off to intern at a small quant fund. That means I will be delaying my graduation by half a semester and I'm going to take a shot at SA2021.

From an employer standpoint, do you think badly of someone who delays graduation?
